LongRail Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I was number 9 on the list and my model was partially printed so would be interested in paying for the bits paul,has printed along with remaining parts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggie Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I was number 9 on the list and my model was partially printed so would be interested in paying for the bits paul,has printed along with remaining parts I was number 7, with 65% completed. I have messaged Paul hoping to buy the parts, but haven't heard back. Really don't want Paul to be out of pocket with all of the hard work he put in.

Mr_Tilt Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Paul's been in touch with me about the remaining POP-Train parts, and tells me they are stored away elsewhere at the moment. He's still having lots of health issues and isn't too mobile just now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shovelto Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 A 3D printing guru from a model rail group to which I belong is kindly producing a set of parts for me. He has just started printing and hopes to have them ready for me by the end of next week. I will post piccys and comments once they arrive and I start work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shovelto Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 OK Good times! I am now the proud owner of 11 bags containing many 3D printed parts which, when assembled in the right way, should give me my POP train. The detail is wonderful, a tribute to Paul's time and effort in producing the 3d files. I am indebted to Bob Gledhill, author of “Laser Cutting and 3-D Printing for Railway Modellers” who printed off the set of parts for me. Obviously most parts needed to be printed twice, one for each of the PC units, but some needed more than that and a few are specific to PC3 or PC 4 only. Bob printed the parts using a list that I created by scrutinising the magnificent manual that Paul and Kit produced. As I build the model I will check that I got the numbers correct and will publish the list as an aid to others who may wish to tackle a set of print runs. My initial check revealed one major miscount - you need 3 bogies and I only listed 2! More report as I start the build proper 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Tilt Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 My initial check revealed one major miscount - you need 3 bogies and I only listed 2! Yes, it tends to run a bit rough with only two. IIRC Paul designed the bogie parts so there's a different Steering Beam assembly for the centre articulated bogie. so make sure you get the right beams in the right places.

Ed Winterbury Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I woul like to know if this great project is complete? If so, how much is it and what are the skill requirements? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Winterbury Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Buy your own 3D printer so you don't have to pay commission. Costing less than one grand, it'll allow you to modify to your heart's content. There's a printing shop in Holborn which can make your kits as well as advising you on the best printer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Winterbury Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Your own printer will let you charge extra for custom made kits Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll hopefully have the first full set printed today, will be doing things slightly different for future batchs but the basics are there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of components, now to verify I've printed the right quantities then test build. Sadly test build has to wait until Wednesday evening. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
