Tricky-CRS Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) I was not happy with the Commer Fire Engine and the Sherpa Fire Pump so grouped them together with some extra Commer Fire support vehicles. The sherpa was a basic size issue of parts so needs printing to see if it all fits together. 1st up is the reworked Fire Engine now version 6 2nd is and escape ladder based on one built for Carlisle. 3rd is a Marine rescue support vehicle, which could be used for police, mine rescue or other uses with modification 4th is a Fire support truck again would lend itself to other roles as well. I will be test printing these this weekend. Edited August 21, 2021 by Tricky-CRS 5 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB 3C no.2 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) These Commer trucks particularly the fire engines are very good , do you fancy doing them in OO scale? This model of Commer truck ( V Series and C Series) has not been done in small scale by any of the big companies AFAIK. This is surprising as they sold well across all markets and were very common sight in 60's 70's and 80's. They also were marketed with the Dodge badge following Chrysler take over of Rootes They were particularly popular with local authorities across the UK and could be seen everywhere as council tippers, bin wagons, road sweepers and gulley emptiers . In municipal applications they often bore the Karrier name. Councils liked them because of their love of Perkins diesels. The Commer cab would look good with your road sweeper body.

Trewisin Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Hi Richard, You have done it again those Commer fire engines and support vehicles look really good. You have still got a few new vehicles up your sleeve look forward to seeing them soon. Regards Ray. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Thank you for your feedback, I am focused on N Gauge for the time being, unfortunately its not a case of just scaling up to OO as wall thickness and detail would be wrong. I intend revisiting all cabs overtime with more options once initial batch released. It also comes down to what photos, sales brochures I can find, or actual vehicles to photograph. The Dodge is interesting as it is slightly different so may follow eventually as funds allow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted August 28, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 28, 2021 Another vehicle from RedAndy…..Vauxhall Viva HC…..two door….hope the 4 door will follow as my first two cars were Mk3 VIvas. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/60s-70s-Detailed-N-gauge-3d-Resin-printed-Farina-24-80-Vauxhall-Viva-HC-X2-/165039619003?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-CRS Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Here is the latest project, I have drawn these myself and have been working on them a while. This is the first test print and more options are printing now. Its the 1930s Karrier Bantam. I have done 3 Cabs and 2 headlights (prewar and wartime, need to look at postwar option.) These lasted well into the 1960s in some locations and I know one is being restored in Yorkshire. All parts need additional CAD work. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Harvey Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Those Karriers look very interesting. When I was a boy our local district council went on using one of these long after the next generation of Dennisses had come and gone from doing the dustbin rounds. The Karrier was sent out regularly to empty bins missed by the main crews, or to clear up when some had been "spilled on the step" accidentally. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernardTPM Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Quite nice, but the rainstrip on the Viva is very oddly placed at the back. It should follow the side windows. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-CRS Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I have printed and base coated the bulk of the range and built a display for TINGs on Sunday. The display (none on sale) will be on DCC Supplies stand as early as I can get in. I realised I missed 2 off the Commer V Range and Ford Cargo Tractor units on their own but their are on their with trailers. I also forgot to take a pictures before packing away, as I am off to Statfold Railway tomorrow on my way down, for Road, Rail and Ale Festival. Some of the range will hopefully be on the DEMU stand all weekend at TINGS as well. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Royal42 Posted September 18, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) Slightly OT but can anyone please help or advise me on how I can draw the cab of this Bedford RL to make a decent print? section of Mick Bell plan I have drawn a few vehicles in CAD and been able to 3D print them to N gauge without a problem; however, I am finding that the shape of this cab is currently beyond my skills in Fusion 360. I would be grateful to hear of any practical advice on how to draw the cab in Fusion 360 in order that I can make a print. I've tried Loft, Filter and Chamfer but the curves just don't follow the sketches I've drawn and I really would like to know where I am going wrong with this. cheers, Mike Edited September 19, 2021 by Royal42 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
