Thanks for the kind words, it’s far from perfect though, I think the photos are flattering!

Gareth, I do think you are "under selling" yourself, there is some very fine workmanship there.

Aaron that really is impressive, just waiting to see the conclusion

Though I have not used them, this company is recommended by a user on another forum https://www.the3dprintshop.co.uk/

Hi Nigel and welcome to the forum, you have had advice form two of the foremost knowledgeable people of the the forum (there are others of course), but as each has said, a little more information would be of benefit to enable a fuller and more complete answer. Anyhow, best of luck in which ever way ...

Aye, always nice to see. Quite like the colour, too. Thought about painting mine like that during construction.. Are you still running out of water before gas? My Fowler's always run out of gas first, odd.. Aaron, many thanks, i don't run it "empty", bringing it to a stop before either ru...

Rik, absolutely loved it, not sure how true the story was but it brought some cheer.

I'd be happy for PayPal not to refund these greedy folks, they need to learn their lesson Not everybody who falls for scams are greedy, some just don't have a lot on money and are careful what they do with it, other just do not see it as a scam because they "don't see scams", and just thi...

Quite a few years ago .... doesn't time fly ...... I worked on a primary teacher training programme and helped set up a new Technology course (when Technology was a brand spanking new National Curriculum subject). We bought loads of Lego Technik plus Lego computer interfaces to teach the student te...

Trevor watched this all the way through, the end result is magnificent, well done.

I have opted for the DJB Engineering whistle, and being a new loco, and as I do not have access to the necessary workshop equipment I asked Paul of DJB to carry out the fitting as part of his service. Finding a courier/post where I could ship and insure the loco for its fully value was fun (but that...

As per my post on the first page, I still have not had a response from my email to them, but maybe they are just very busy.

If we think about this matter seriously... (???) it is clear that a large volume of liquid in a single container is impractical, especially when it needs to be attended by an on-board Doctor in case baffles come into contact with delicate parts! ! It could be overcome though. What about individual ...

Thanks Steve and Philip, food for thought

Philip, very helpful, i am considering a 3D printer and followed a number of threads, and although I am impressed with what I have seen, I am still not sure, it would seem that the resin printer leaves less striations, than the filament type printers, is that correct. Oh, and happy printing.

And made by the same company as the one advertised.

I've now blogged the drawing and the construction of my short wheelbase Southwold van. https://riksrailway.blogspot.com/2020/12/how-i-drew-and-3d-printed-southwold.html IMG_1245.JPG This is a really useful and clear tutorial for a 3D printing newbie like me - thanks! I've also uploaded the drawings...

Rod the planking wood grain effect is really great looking, a couple of questions, the base I assume is your favourite acrylic or enamel paint, however for the stain, this actual wood stain or a further coat of "brown" paint.

When i bought my Roundhouse loco earlier this year, the recommendation were the loco would require "running-in" under a light load for a couple of hours. I found that the pulling power was not as good as I was expecting, especially up gradients. However a couple of weeks ago I put the heav...

A I have had a play with TinkerCad on my Chromebook and can export an STL file to a USB stick for printing. .....if only I read all the posts more thoroughly. I've just reread your post more thoroughly! :) and I'm not sure whether you may have misunderstood the process slightly ( forgive me if I've...

I have used the odd piece of artificial grass, in that odd place where I haven't planted, but want some green to control. In the UK you do need to manage it though, as seedlings will sprout through it.
