Tadpole S1

Just finished the 3D artwork for my GWR Tadpole Diagram S1. The image shows all the parts combined. However, I have split the model up into two main parts, the Chassis and underframe.

 

The bogies will be a variation on some Dean 6'4" ones that I produced for the short Hornby/Triang Clearstores

Just uploaded the underframe to Shapeways - a few minor wall thickness warnings om some of the details but hopefully these will not stop them from printing it.

I have now uploaded all the remaining components (the body and bogies and have ordered them from Shapeways. Parts due 11th December.

Very nice. Any plans to do the version with the guards caboose? And a broad gauge version? I think that the ends of the floor planks though be covered with a continuous curb rail rather than showing the ends of the floor planks.

Many thanks for the info regarding the curb rail - too much reliance on a drawing! I will probably get onto this once I have the 3d printed chassis back and tested it - vary rarely do I get things exactly right first time so there will probably be other things to alter like the clearance between the top of the wheels and sole bar. In any case I also need to add the curb rail to the version of the chassis I intend to use on the Queens Coach (see below)

As to the Guards version, I have been thinking about it but it is not on my immediate list as I have already made a six wheeled version (see https://www.shapeways.com/product/WQ4HB3U9Z/gwr-tadpole-a-diag-s5-part-2-body?optionId=100146999)
