Mr_Tilt Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Looks like the web site is down I am getting This page can’t be displayed Make sure the web address http://www.apt-e.org is correct. Look for the page with your search engine. Refresh the page in a few minutes. The main APT-E site isn't working, just now (1835 GMT) Paul says they sometimes overrun with their weekend backups so that maybe the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf27 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I think your POP-Train and Paul's are in different markets Shane. Yours is at the fine scale end and Paul's is at the plastic kit end. The skills needed to build either of them are very different. I had thought that a hybrid of the two versions could be quite good though...... Not really thought of it like that, I'll be happy if I sell 10-15! cheers Shane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRM Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hi Shane. I have always wanted one or may be even two of yours. If you put yours into production ill stand by that. They are different. Some people can not work with brass and some plastic. With out the time Paul and yourself but in we would not have ether. Kudos to both of you.

Download the zip file from : http://www.apt-e.org/leadleykits/pop1.zip Regards Paul Hi Paul Had a quick look and from someone who's never assembled a kit before they look good. Fills me with a bit more confidence fro when my kit arrives. A couple of suggestions: - A single PDF doc would be appreciated. <edit - we just crossed postings - thanks!> - Rather than whole screen grabs, could just the cad work be included - i.e. loose the program title bar etc.? (Appreciate this may be a major task so don't worry if it's not an easy ask!) - I spotted a couple of typos (on part 68 "this" & part 70 "Fluch") Many thanks for pulling all this together.

Why don't you build a couple of smaller Cambrian or Parkside wagons before tackling a bigger, more costly project like this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Sam, I have got a PDF ready, with 7 extra slides, includes paint plan and Kits scale drawings, will upload it tonight when I get home from work, and correct the typos. Getting rid of the program bar would be good, but its a fairly large job due to the number of slides, if I get some time (Yer right lol), I will get it sorted.

Mr_Tilt Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Those pics above don't even show a fraction of what Paul's place looks like these days. He generously put me up there last weekend during the Shildon Cab It event, and the whole place is COVERED in small piles of black plastic parts. Everywhere you look there's an outcropping of bulkheads, side struts or bogie parts, quite how Paul keeps track of which bits are which I have no idea, but the finished article looks the business! He cooks a mean breakfast too, I might add. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

experimental Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Sorry for the delay in getting models 2,3,4 out, having a few problems getting the quality right on the delicate framework. Ive ordered a new print nozzle that should solve the problem. Regards Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
apt-e Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 New part fitted this morning and a test print done on Reprap 1 , before work (I'm crazy), so back in the swing of things. Going to be a very busy weekend getting kits finished and packaged. Regards Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
