Hi Red,

 

Would it be possible to have a real close-up of the front of the tram, would be interested to see if there is any stepping in the print.

 

It looks really fantastic though with allot of small detail on there. This is N Gauge yes?

 

Cheers, Mark.

Nope it's 4mm/ft.....There's some stepping on the fronts, as I new there would be with having it printed in this orientation, but it's better there than on the roof if done the other way, the stepping is obviously on the angled and rounded parts but easily sorted.

 

I'll see what I can do on the pic, if you send me a direct email I'll send you some higher resolution pictures.

 

Cheers,

Hi Mark

Looks fantastic and when funds allow I will be ordering (but may wait till floor available). My question is what about the trolley tower and lifeguards. Has someone developed a brass one?

Also I think I read somewhere (maybe the Facebook group) you were looking for more ideas. Have you considered a pantograph car?

Cheers

Mark, Mark Hughes will be doing an etch for it that will cover lifeguards, trolley tower etc, I'l be seeing him at Totally Transport (and possibly you?) so will know more then....if anything happens in the meantime I'll let you know....

 

The artwork for the PC etched pantograph car still exists, so dunno about that....

 

I am getting my ear bent about an OMO though.........

Hi

Will get to totally transport depending on work, will second the omo as well! Thanks for the update anyway, may hang on until all components in place before I buy. Would be nice to see one in the flesh, how brittle is the plastic if at all? (Used to building the hadfields kits never seen a 3d print model)

It's marginally more rigid/brittle than a cast resin kit, but not particularly so, hard to say, best bet is to see one really.

 

I should have various with me at TT inc N and O gauge models hopefully.
