Rolling Stock thanks to Rick Bennett

Post by Sekim » Wed Nov 09, 2022 7:36 am

After returning to the 16mm fold I recently purchased a Roundhouse L&M loco to add to the Roundhouse based one I already had. This immediately flagged up my almost total lack of stock to run with them. The solution was in part to download & 3d print some of Rick Bennett’s excellent design for Southwold Railway wagons and vans. I had a supply of IP wheel sets and axle boxes and these have been used, with either wood or 3d printed under frames. The van roofs are strip timber covered in linen. So far I’ve printed a long and short van, 2 no. 3 plank & 1 no. 2 plank wagons.
The Glynn Valley brake van was drawn for 16.5 gauge on Thingyverse and was printed x2.
Thanks Rick. Mike

Those are very nice looking models. You've made a good job of them.

Indeed! They look a lot neater than my efforts.
Really pleased to see they are helping you to get back into the hobby. :thumbup:
