Re: Gmeinder & Co loco

The biggest bits are the two side frames, which are 150mm long, I don't know if they will fit on your printer bed, I know you've had size problems before? Will they fit diagonally? Rik PS I think you mean PLA filament. Sorry to be pedantic. :roll: Your correct Rik....PLA.. :lol :lol And it all depe...

Re: Nolwyn Valley Tramway

It would be a shame to remove the circular pond, it makes for a better feature and also a small waterfall. If you could use even just 6" of that unused space with the rubble, you would still then be able to use the larger stock and for me it would be look more aesthetically better and also make...

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco

Would I be able to print that on my printer using PVA or similar. I have only actually printed with PVA though. It's just that you hear some stories about how difficult ABS and other filament can be. I have had some rubbish PVA though and it's been really terrible to use. I am no where near ready to...

Re: Nolwyn Valley Tramway

Looks like things are progressing well Drew. Would it not be possible to run you track on the other side of the right hand fence, you could have a nice curve then for larger stock.

I think I would be asking the "Boss" if it was possible... :lol :lol

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco

The loco you are doing is looking just like the real thing and for you to do that with out very little in the way of dimensions is just exceptional and mind blowing with your human mov...

Re: Gears

I bought it off EBay Rik and I have had it for about 2+ years, so I can’t remember what it was to start with. All well I might just have to try and look for something with the same diameter of axle and take it from there I think 🤔

Re: FINAL NEW FWLR LINE

You've done a cracking job on what sounds like a fairly duff kit, Rod. Thank you Philip, to be completely honest it is a bit duff. I did find a old Garden Railway magazine March 2023 and inside is a write up by Mark Thatcher, who many know is a regular contributor, I think he writes for the magazin...

Thank you for all those kind response's, they are very much appreciated. I did want to be able to take the long steps apart because of the size of it, it would be need a huge box of some kind to store it over the winter months, but because the long steps don't meet with the top rails on the walkway ...

It certainly was a challenge Peter and Anne wasn’t that happy about how poorly they are made, with postage and packaging she told me it was well over £100+. It’s surprising how they can make their products when they have a photo of the product look good for advertising though isn’t it. I took extra ...

Re: Nolwyn Valley Tramway

That's looking brilliant Drew. In my own mind I can see how I would let my imagination go with it. The right side near to the what looks like a the side of a shed or fence would be a line running close along side of it and then turning behind the header tank and then running along side the left hand...
