New Station Building
Re: New Station Building
mmmmm - cosy.....must get some crumpets!
You can see the fire quire clearly and I guess with the lighting on much of the other detail will be viewable
Note to self - Must get into the PVC foam building, building this winter

Re: New Station Building
Hi folks,
Sorry it's been a long time coming but finally the station is complete ( more or less!). In the middle of September I promised an update "shortly" (https://gardenrails.org/forum/viewtopic ... g&start=60), and actually, it's been sitting in the garage since the middle of October last year, but between the weather and holidays, it simply hasn't been possible to put it out. Today, at last we've had sun all day so I grabbed the chance.
So some of the components you'll have seen before in my 3D Printing threads, but some were never detailed and some were incomplete, so here it is:
First a view from the station throat end:
and then a similar view looking the other way:
A close-up of the fancy bargeboards and matching ridge tiles ( the ones on the main building are identical);
A close up of the station exit gate. The platform fence, railings and gate, lamppost, and buffer stop all printed.
The station building itself, with windows and doors, and bench, I've shown before, but here, the door notices, way out board, the rainwater goods, the fire buckets and mounting board and brackets, passenger and dog are all printed.
A close up of the gutter fittings,
The headshunt and platform end, again the cast iron notice is 3D printed. The buffer stop on the platform road is printed, the one on the short siding is from Peco.
A close up of a printed gas lamp - all printed apart from the plain tube of the post itself and the wire support brackets between the post and head..
The sharp eyed amongst you may have noticed that there is no ballast, however just as our intrepid photographer was about to pack up and go home, the PW Dept arrived with a trainload of ballast, so it shouldn't be too long!
Any questions I'll be happy to answer.

Re: New Station Building
Worth the wait Philip, that is a lovely piece of building. I can really see the attraction of the printing, the gutters look brilliant. I'm still wrestling with resin in a few grams to make 4mm scale tank ends...sometimes successfully and sometimes not
Re: New Station Building
Philip - wow - great to see it all together - so many parts I know you've worked hard on perfecting- my fav bits are the guttering - both the rain catchers and the downpipes - really add depth and realism to the building
I know you don't want to set up a business printing this stuff but currently I don't see anyone else in 1:19 doing items like these

Re: New Station Building
Super result and well worth the time and effort.... it certainly shows.
I love the guttering, downpipes and brackets, they look really functional.

The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?
Re: New Station Building
Thanks chaps.
Just one more picture to show the lights now that it getting dark.
The glow over the passengers shoulder is the waiting room fire.
Sorry about the green net over all, thats to keep the birds, cats and hedgehogs off things!

Re: New Station Building
Great looking guttering, Philip. Looks very realistic as does the rest of the building.

Re: New Station Building
I love the overall atmosphere that you have created here, so much of it is down to the precise detail of your creations. I do normally think with a 6 or even a ten foot rule and what the eye cannot see etc. Here you have knocked that theory completely sideways.
Have you created the travel posters yourself by photo reduction or are they commercial items?

Re: New Station Building
Splendid detail Philip, I'm still telling friends of your printed fireplace and that fire. Many things stand out, but I have to say the fencing, the exit gate look so real, I can hear the gate squeek a little as it's opened!

What can one say Phillip β¦..WOW is one word to describe your brilliant build, is that now two wordsβ¦just puts my feeble attempt to shame, so in the bin it is goingβ¦not really.

Re: New Station Building
Come on Phil, invest in a better printer and get selling station kits!

Re: New Station Building
Thanks again for the nice comments, all.
Phil, the posters came from the net, resized, then laser printed on self adhesive vinyl to give them some sort of weather resistance. I've actually got more because the plan was to put enamel signs on the fences, but I decided it would look too garish ( although not unprototypical). I do have one I might put on though, because I found a sign for Basset Lowke, Northampton, which is not only appropriate for subject, but also fairly local to me here.
As for the 6-10ft rule and matching elastic ruler, I do the detail when I feel like it just because I enjoy fiddling about and like a wee bit of a challenge, not because I'm a rivet counter as such. I'm perfectly aware that nobody ( including me) will ever see the detail I put inside the waiting room but that doesn't bother me, I enjoyed doing it at the time and that was an end in itself.
