New wagon kits, SER and LBSC

I've recently finished 3 new wagon kit designs, an SER ballast wagon, an SER coal/goods wagon and a few variants of an LBSC steel-framed Open A. I've been trying out a few different constructions methods and doing a load of test building - they're not perfect but I am pretty happy with them now. Wondering where to go next, probably an SER d1553 brake, but I've got a few locos to finish too. After about a month of issues with the 3D printer it's good just to get some prints working reliably now so I can get back to CAD work (and adding stuff to my new layout baseboard).

 

If anyone would like one (or more!), more info on all three is available here, along with contact details: https://ts3dmodels.blogspot.com/p/wagons.html

Nice work. I wonder if you would be interested in writing something about these for the South Eastern & Chatham Society and/or the Brighton Circle modelling supplements? I’m sure a short article and some pictures would be very welcome.

Thanks, I certainly would be! Eric got in touch with me for the last Brighton Circle one, but it wasn't quite ready at that point in time.

Nice wagons. I came across your "How to fail: a catalogue of 3D resin printing errors" video on YT  earlier today. Very informative, I like the idea of documenting errors for others to learn from.

Making errors is the very best way to learn. Theorising and reading is  essential, but it only gets you so far. Crack on with the job and learn as  you go but don’t be upset when it doesn’t work. Try another way and remember to take notes. It always amazes me, there are so many jobs you think need to be done one way, only to find out when you’re half way through that another way is far more successful.

Maybe the best way of learning, but far from the most fun. I'm back up and running now though, so all good!

I guess it depends how much of a masochist you are! :wacko:
