Code 75 c&l/Exactoscale (from the time they were sold together)

I’m using ply sleepers with Exactoscale chairs for my transverse sleepered mixed gauge ‘Nampara for Hendrawna’ layout set in 1890-92 that is very slowly emerging from the loft workshop clutter.

Tim, Inspirational work - as always! Duncan

Brilliant work DrDuncan

Love the Gooch goods! D

I warned you!!!!

Thanks Gareth. What have you been printing? D

What thickness are you using for the W irons and brake gear? D

Blast

A little bit of broad gauge never hurt anyone! Go on, scratch that 7ft itch... Duncan

Mike, Your explorations are always inspirational. Duncan

It is a Form labs form 2. Sides are 0.5mm (I think) But only because it’s such a small wagon. The longer the side the ticker due to possible warping. D

So I’ve managed to make some progress. First a CMR tippler wagon: The W irons are D & S. I think the buffers at the non tippling end should be self contained ones and I think I’ll modify GW self contained ones. Brake gear will be butchered coopercraft from the spares box. For the mark 2 I’m going to try extruding up the end door strapping to meet a 0.5mm brass wire hinge. I’m also going to do a later version with buffers At both ends with will have a slightly differential side brace at the door end as per some prototype images. A small set back with the BG opens. The 4 plank is ridding to high. The 3 plank is good though! W irons and axle Xbox/springs are MJT, brakes ABS and v hanger D & S. Duncan

The prototype 3D print! The W irons are D & S. I think the buffers at the non tippling end should be self contained ones and I think I’ll modify GW self contained ones. Brake gear will be butchered coopercraft from the spares box. For the mark 2 I’m going to try extruding up the end door strapping to meet a 0.5mm brass wire hinge. I’m also going to do a later version with buffers at both ends which will have a slightly different side brace at the door end as per some prototype images. Duncan

Lovely work! D
