rue_d_etropal Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 And now I thought I would have a go at a loco, having worked out how to do some of the detail better. Still a basic loco body, but a loco requested, primarily for N gauge, but my design, as for others starts out bigger. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rue_d_etropal Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 Another off my to-do list! This was only done because someone asked, and it gave me a chance to tidy up my design logic for locos. Means next loco will be slightly easier to do. Mainly want to do small industrial type ones as these are small enough for Gauge 1. . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rue_d_etropal Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 the W is now live. If any changes need to be made, they can be done, but i don't ike to have too many designs waiting to go live. working on some more Colonel stephens odd balls, starting with the SMR Severn 0-4-2 tank loco. Doing the cab will mean I will do more industrial type locos with similar cabs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGR Hooper! Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 And now I thought I would have a go at a loco, having worked out how to do some of the detail better. Still a basic loco body, but a loco requested, primarily for N gauge, but my design, as for others starts out bigger. This looks good, similar to one of the broad gauge Indian Railways locos. Might pick one up if there's not too much to do in terms of modification. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard i Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Great package has arrived from shapeways. It is going to be fun getting these up and running. The GCR rail car is looking really fine. The roof detail really sets it off nicely. Thanks for the effort put in to these. Forward to other GCR stock..........? Happy customer here.

rue_d_etropal Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 thanks for showng photos. Finish is not as bad as some make out. The buffers will need stengthening with a drop of super glue. They can be fragile. Then a bit of smoothing down, before any paint, as liquid will harden the surface and make it even more difficult to smooth down.

rue_d_etropal Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Something for those special(royal?) visitors to your railway? The ex Royal saloon coach that ended up on the Shropshire and Montgomery Railway, and sadly got scrapped after being stored at Longmoor for many years. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rue_d_etropal Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 Having a (short) break from Colonel Stephens, and just done a GCR 15t 6 wheel brake van, which someone requested. Luckily there was a drawing, and it was not difficult, being just a simple box. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted May 5, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2018 have not done the GNR one yet. I have drawings. Also now I have the LSWR coach books, I have drawings for the joint railway ones. That's intriguing, are these the Kerr ones ? we've been unable to find any drawings for them. What is the source ?

rue_d_etropal Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) That's intriguing, are these the Kerr ones ? we've been unable to find any drawings for them. What is the source ? I am refrring to the steam railmotor, I think you are referring to the petrol one. Just had a look in book, and the Kerr ones were petrol. Surprised their drawings are not held somewhere, otherwise Enf=gineer magazine often had drawings of new/experimental railcars.

rue_d_etropal Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 It was a nice simple design, made a change. Mind you I am building up bits I can reuse on new designs, or slightly modify. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinnylinny Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Could you cheat with that and find a 32mm wheelbase motor bogie to go under the "coach" end? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rue_d_etropal Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 That is probably what I would do. Better gear ratio as well. I would build a complete chassis which worked, then it would simply fit unde the body. That is how I have designed most of my models. Also remember, not everyone models in 4mm/ft! Finding a driving whel that big in Gauge 1, which does not cost too much. N gauge would be challenging. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rue_d_etropal Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Got a mention in Paul Lunn's article in latest Model Rail magazine, with respect to the ex LNWR EMUs used on Morecambe line. I produced my design whenPaul contacted me about the EMUs . Also article by Terry Tew in Railway Modeller, including photos of the Oelikon EMU he built using my 3D print. Shows what can be done. Also makes an interesting comparison with his other stock created by cut'n'shunt and overlays. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium dhjgreen Posted May 10, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 10, 2018 My LYR EMU was in the Oct 17 EMGS Newsletter, called a "ghost train" as it was received 2 weeks before the meeting at my layout and was in white as received and plonked on the chassis of a class 504. The LYRS were interested in an article about it, but I think they have a different view of the timescale than I have; it is in grey now, with work on the underframe to commence.
