Simplex 20hp Tractor

Post by GAP » Sun Dec 24, 2023 1:50 am

I found this while looking for some O gauge track to print

It looks very similar to the one we have at the Australian Sugar Cane Railway (ASCR)

The link to the webiste reveals some interesting subjects as well and the YouTube is worth a bit of a watch.

I came across that some while ago and did think about having a go, but when I saw the picture showing the myriad of tiny parts I just couldn't be bothered, tbh!

We have one at the Sugar Cane Railway so I was thinking of making it s a non working one, but as you said the number parts are huge.

I printed one of these ages ago, too many small parts and I couldn't figure out where everything went or if I had printed the right amount of each part, I just gave up in the end :oops:
