Great job on the signal box. I will have to see if I can revise my 4mm models of Rowfant and Grange road boxes to show a couple of windows in the open position. Keith ps done on a FDM printer windows may well be done in resin.

These look like great prints. I am using an Ender 3pro but have noticed as slicing software updates the prints are getting better. Currently I am still using a 0.4 nozzle but am tempted to try a 0.2. Even withthe .4 i can see some useable prints that would work very well at the 3ft viewing distance. Keith

Thanks Neil that’s just what I wanted much appreciated. Hopefully I will get a sheet or two at the Bristol exhibition. Keith.

Daft question of the day. I want to use the Flemish bond sheet to clad a building carcass that I can produce on my 3D printer. I want to reduce the wall thickness to accommodate the building sheet. Does anyone know the how thick the sheets are so that I can allow for the addition of the cladding. Many thanks Keith

Sorry it will be a Clark’s pie for me. Keith

Wonderful video all looks great. I noticed there seams to be a slight misalignment on one of the goods yard points. One of the sidings looks as though the point has risen above the siding. Also in my mind’s eye I thought the orientation was round the other way with Hemsley being off to right but I now stand corrected. Still a marvellous layout. Keith

Just tried accessing the digest but the www says the website has been disabled. Is it just a temporary situation. Keith

I always use my failed 3D prints just for a laugh but know one has even noticed…….. Keith

Also Cardiff central. https://earth.app.goo.gl/?apn=com.google.earth&isi=293622097&ius=googleearth&link=https%3a%2f%2fearth.google.com%2fweb%2f%4051.47532114,-3.1773624,8.72481654a,0d,60y,11.99992131h,89.53838355t,0r%2fdata%3dIhoKFlZWdk5TWU5JRnV2WnhNdU9acVotdmcQAg Keith

Model r/c cranes as well good mood lighting……. Keith

Ah this reminds me of an incident that happened to me. I was working for a Belgian airline in there operations department. The airline was based on the north side of the airport and was considered to be a Flemish company. Sabena based on the south of the airport where a French company. So I was called in as there was problem with an aircraft gone tech in Malaga. The Ops officer on duty had only been in the job a few months and was running around a bit like a rabbit in the headlights. Also one of the joint MDs was in and he suffered no fools gladly. There was the boss barking out instructions in Flemish as I came in. Now he wanted a number for another charter airline to sub in for our tech aircraft. The ops officer was trying to find the number and was going through the local directory but could not find it. Now in most airline ops at the time there was always a black book that had all the handy numbers etc in it. So I walked over to the desk opened the book and pointed to the number needed. The MD then in perfect English said to the other guy „Keith found the number and he doesn’t even speak Flemish“. Huge brownie points to me……. Keith

I did similar in design spark. I used dimensions from the Parkin book of the Mk1. Firstly I drew the top radius then setting the cant rail used my judgement to do a radius to join the two curves. Keith

And just up the road from my school. Keith

Ah but if you do a single track blt…… There is the terminus and maybe a passing loop so by default we have double track again. Back to the drawing board. Now how much room do I need for Stourbridge Town…… Keith

Is just me but it looks more European that Scotland. Could even be Italian. off for my hat and coat again. Keith

There a no pit canal or railway in Newdigate. Ops sorry it’s not in Surrey my fault. In Surrey there is more chance of oil shales for fracking. Keith

If you have a look on thingverse and look up Iron mink. Keith

What has happened it’s a week later and no update. No doubt you have got on with another MTK kit and haven’t told us yet. No worries looking forward to your next update. Keith

This looks like a great idea. On the subject of station buildings what about a variation of those at Devils Dyke. Keith

I presume you are talking about resin printing. I have one but waiting for better weather. However I think it is mainly a yes to all your questions. Have a look at a few threads on here to give you an idea. Wokos thread covers wagons carriages locomotives and even buildings all in resin. I think one of the things to do once printed and cured is to get a squirt of primer over as soon as possible. This I think is to cover the resin to protect from uv light. hope this helps Keith

Just a quick question. What is the train that you took to the SVR? Keith ps like the before and after shot of KGV shame about the photo bomb……twice……..he he he.

RNLI outing.

Oh I am already hooked. Keith

Good to see you back we have missed you this week. Any inside gen are any other 69s to get Western style liveries…….. Keith

Anything with a collector shoe. 3rd rail rules……… Oh and any DEMU. Keith, bought up close to the Brighton line.
