Re: The Railway in the Valley of the Mill
Some really great shots. I especially liked the shot starting at 2:25. Could easily be mistaken for the real thing. Thanks Rik. It's not just the realism of Trevor's buildings that help shots like this, but the placement, it makes it easy to have the goods shed in the foreground here, as if you're ...

Re: The Railway in the Valley of the Mill
Trevor your explanations are so good I'm almost tempted to try building points in this scale myself... (I've soldered together points in 4mm and 7mm scale but nothing as elegant or as robust looking as these!) Meanwhile - some video from our running session 3 weeks ago . Mostly of Moel Rhos stock, p...

Re: Mamod Quarry - The saga continues…
The one thing you don't mention - how much running in has it had? In your place, I'd be tempted by (2). I don't know the Brunel, but I have a couple of geared Regner locos, and they will run on just about any line. One started out as manual and to be honest it was fine like that (I just like to be a...

Re: Quarry Hunslet
Thanks. That combination of parts printed together hadn't occurred to me, but it makes sense.

Re: Quarry Hunslet
Amazingly crisp prints really showing off all the extra detail!
Just to be clear - frames printed separately from the footplate? (And flat to the bed too, so oriented at 90 degrees to how we are seeing them?)

Re: Another Faller Railbus
I do like a railbus, never seen a Faller railbus I didn't like but these are particularly nice. Loads of character and quite distinct.

Re: Blog, Pictures, and Videos
I use Wordpress for blogging and would recommend it. You can start a Wordpress blog for free on wordpress.com (the software itself is open source so lots of people - like me - host it themselves, but using wordpress.com is simpler). I think it's easy to use, but that might be because I've been using...

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
The resin all looks beautifully crisp. I must resume the struggle with my resin printer, if the rewards might be anything like that kind of quality!

Re: How make stl files poseable with Blender
Thanks Philip these look like great instructions, when I have a moment I will definitely work through, it'll be so useful if I can learn how to do this!

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
Once I got the hang of it, it was quite easy and potentially opens all sorts of possibilities for posing figures. If anyone wants to know how to do it, just shout. AHOY THERE! Yes please, thinking back to when I bought my first printer, figures was one of my key purposes, but none of my half-hearte...

Re: The Railway in the Valley of the Mill
Excellent! Looking forward to running round there.
I had thought it might be a bit of a squeeze behind the veg, but I can see the space you’re making turning the bank into a wall is substantial. Does look really great. (As do the leeks by the way!)

Re: HGLW loco tweak
Fresh from all of these centre-cab discussions, I was having a little read of the latest SMT and on p44 there was... well, more of an off-centre cab loco, this Jung Motorloc at the Katwijk Narrow Gauge Museum.
