+ For a less complicated model - why not? Possibly the most published picture, Writhlington, Somerset. on the S&DJR And its demolition.

Peter, Glad I have found you. For obvious reasons, Ebay is a serious censor on otherwise making direct contact. Yes we do supply to Australia, and have done to US, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa Switzerland as well as the UK.

Use Solder Paste - its a snip!

Southwest have a habit of running out of runway - two more, Las Vegas & Chicago's O'Hare

There was also a road crossing with traffic lights on the Filton Runway. - crossed it many times. Before Concorde was the Vulcan XA903 testbed converted for the Olympus slung underneath - one Sunday afternoon we were all stopped on the A38 while it landed.

+ What's the idea putting a Copyright on these specs? How about making them Open Source. Surely the only thing initially to agree is the end section and the unit used for multiple lengths, There are a whole lot more for wiring to be gathered as the spec develops

Assembly of a Modular system. Noel

+ I posted a European approach in 2012 from an 1995 paper My local Markin Club is building to the spec. /topic/54649-modular-sdjr/ post #3 Noel

The detail available at 7mm has always been phenomenal. However for. the intended 4mm model, do you think they will now introduce 3D printed assemblies in place of lost wax sprues, especially for the Backhead detail. Noel

Matt There is a fixed charge on each drawing Shapeways print. I think you will make savings especially with FUD, if two bogies are on the same print drawing. Noel

Interesting. For Writhlington, the exercise was to build with ST Code 100, and I soon ran into problems of having the splice points together at convenient spots. I was soon down to ST242/3. The assembly has flexibility for lining up, but needs a lot of making good and replacing of sleepers before final laying. Rail joins in red; to span a stream with room for under baseboard PL10's There are several other points, with similar treatments as DavidCBroad.

+ In the 1950's there was a great shop at the base of The Marina in St Leonards-on-Sea - can't remember the name. +

To confirm, the 3D OO Model is of 41772 because we have the best guy possible to do the survey - a real treasure. Guess Who?

They have already done this.

Don B At 34mm diam, and 12 spokes I think if the spokes were thickend to 1mm or more, you would have a good "shock taking" wheel. The drive could also have an intermediate pulley that would take up shock. With a continuous "cables" I don't see the need for much ballast - the cables will pull down as well as up.the incline. SpoorObjecten Interesting link. I think Bill Bedford has carried out similar experiments. In general, the vegetable oil being used is a great improvement over the previous heavy wax from Shapeways, and cleans with a good brush-up from a toothbrush and washing-up liquid. Does anyone have long term experience of various adhesives holding?

Etched Pixels:- It is too fine for the lost wax minimum parameters. FUD can be very brittle in cold temperatures, but has an amazing property of returning to shape if it becomes distorted. I think for Don's application, he needs to consider a sprung jockey wheel to take-up any shock. For 3 ropes on the sheave in a picture he has available, I think the rims will be fairly strong. Of course any unsupported torque drilling the boss is likely to cause damage.

I will gladly supply the Sheaves for this Project. Please get in contact. Noel

Don B :- It is possible I had your original query for Bridenorth Cliff Railway, working against the handicap of exchanging e-mails on eBay. I have supplied these to various sizes up to 100mm. This wheel has 38 spokes at 48mm and for 3D-print limitations would have to reduce the numbers to get down to 34mm - your 12 would do it. The cost is in FUD as the material for the detail. This is the Review by Chris Nevard in Model Rail. Regards Noel

I too made such clamps in "O"-level metalwork - Case Hardened.

Paul For years I have looked at the Pollens, and never found a kit. I did mess around with some white metal castings, but it never came to anything. Your suite of pictures got me going again with the advent of Shapeways moving to the US. It was also an excellent find in Penaluna Design Studios to initiate the original Pollen C. The Pollen E followed, and the help on this Forum has been tremendous, particularly from "Castle" and his on-site surveys that have added additional detail to do justice to the model. Feedback has also helped with edits to the drawings. Detail in 3D printing is expensive, so the Post-1930 models are based on real world practice, of using the pre-1930 84998-84999 for the model in WSF, with the detail on the Post-1930 Rebuild in FUD. The add-on in FUD also supplies the fine detail for the brake handles. Because there is limited side play for the axles, a sprue of flangeless centre wheels is also supplied as an option. Noel.

If these are FUD from Shapeways, you are already on the margin of 0.3mm for the material. Maybe with a light spray of paint, more detail will be seen. Have you consulted them for comment?

A Sentinel with a vertical boiler is being rebuilt at Midsomer Norton too.
