Re: The Leawarra Nayook Railway

The lineside workers soon got the line cleared and full service resumed quickly for the rest of the season. :thumbright:

Lucky though, it could have been much much worse, lucky no one was injured. :)

Re: British businesses who won't sell to Canada

This is what I want, the item in the photo isn't the size I want, it would have 54 printed on the belt and not 42... I know there is £3.33 postage on these but cheap enough at 34p each https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32814325775.html Thanks for that Steve. :thumbright: They are not wide enough unfo...

Re: British businesses who won't sell to Canada

I can understand that problem Rik when producers sell something that is electrical or mechanical, then there could be issues, but I think what Keith S is talking about is building models kits which usually have no moving parts, so wouldn't it seem right that producers should sell to those countries....

Re: British businesses who won't sell to Canada

Seems a bit harsh that. Although if the seller or even the buyer isn't covered for legal reasons or whatever it is, should be addressed I think, why stop a buyer from buying something that another buyer from other countries can buy it, apart from those that you have mentioned...just so harsh again.....

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco

It looks like most of it would print reasonably well in filament. I'd probably use the three-part version of the bonnet to allow the sides to lay flat and minimize support. With a 0.12 or 0.16 layer height most of the detail should come through, possibly even the grille- but I always scrutinize the...

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco

With filament you wouldn't get the same level of detail, for certain, but I'm not sure just how much you would actually lose. In due course, I'll probably upload the stl's on here, so you could try printing one of the front bonnet sides by itself and see if it works and whether you think it worth g...

Re: Nolwyn Valley Tramway

Wow, that's a bit of a shock. Looks nice though. :thumbright: Looking forward to the tutorial, I tried to make one using giphy, I got a trial clip and it works on my laptop, but it won't load onto the forum. Tried 'Add Files' and 'Link' but it just doesn't like it, must be doing something not right....

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco

So there is no way I could print it with just filament then, that's such a shame, I think it's a brilliant build and extremely well designed. :thumbright:

Re: Photos Removal

Thanks you both. My MacBook Pro has SSD Drew and yes when I first got it, it was really really fast, but now it kind of works fine sometimes then it just gets ridiculously slow.
