translating some drawings into models.. dose this Midland Railway Four Wheeled Bogie look right. i am making a few tweeks to make it printable, but wanted the MR look.. next need to find the coach body drawings. :) Calvin

So ... valance and trusses hot of the printer so need some cleanup. And I broke one part of hoist removing supports.. but glue will fix that latter

One part tested:)

Hi After a break from modelering for a while (mostly just running trains, and wiring up new stuffs).. I am now printing of a coach shed. and i thought i would share some pics. :) as it gets printed etc. still need to draw the roof panels and vents, once i have confirmed the span is wide enough calvin

bet thats LOUD

Thanks that was the plan. I also am not a fan of straight lines, and try and put subtle curves in all roads, paths etc. I like it as it makes people lean round to see a view. Kind of guiding the eye to what I want you to see at the angle I want like Capability Brown did with his gardens:)

blimey... so can be narsty if guidlines are not followed...

could you use xmas tree decoration bell.. thing for roof?

is all resin (used in printing) toxic?

are you planing some aircon units, water tank or stuff, and stair access..

nice

update been busy but managed to do some stuff... on the south end of baord wired up the pump house, Queen Anne Pub, and yard office lights temporarly before i build some more mosfet switches etc.. need more light here so might have to move spot lights and started on incline from station level to canal wharf. Lots more cobbles to press and coach shed to design and build. but lower yard track started to be laid and wired up, but need to build or get a DCC auto polarity switch as yard is feed by both sides of main loop and thus + - issues etc. also manged to finish off the head shunt tempoary woodern platform surface (woodern coffe stir sticks) and do the static grass but need to sort ground lever frame. so lots more little A, B, then C jobs and working out if D or EFG is next i am sure you lot understand that.

That last photo is special

I would 3d print it

Good film

could not see them in my email ... was that calvin(at)absentdream(dot)com

i will look

all fdm or resin ? ooo and nice

Nice getting there blasting takes ages

i agree about fiddle yard to aid variaty etc. i didnt have space so using dcc managed to get variity by adding stops and cross overs etc.. see video timelapse this is all random and not in my control. but i did see a layout where fiddle yard was on a lower section under the layout (that was feed via a spiral drop, but could be achived with inclines i do hope we are helpig I was same and found a lot had changed so decided that i would google each stage and see whats new etc.. with the internet we have 20+ years of back log and it allows ideas technichs to travel and improve quicker.. and its good for getting ideas

As a kid I spent ages watching a train fo around and around. And now I find it reflective and relaxing,kind of takes me back this is why i jumped at dcc control as allows them to run around as they wish but also stop at the platforms randomly. But I have also built a yard that I control manually to shut whilst the Express thunders past. So I would put slips and turnouts on entrance and exit of platform and a bay or two to allow trains to switch destination and or direction if wanted. But do what you want as it's all about enjoying trains but do spend a few evenings running trains before starting scenery so changes and adaptations are easier:)

i just move, flip back and forth every now and then while glue sets...

yep ... calvin's where only dusty cowboy boots and ooooo or NIN

very nice play with all the colours as orange or purple can make a nice morining or late evening... or dark blues for night
