Habits will have changed in 80 years, but I couldn't say which way. Maybe the GWR always loaded just below the edge? Maybe they loaded like that one 9F driver who took two passes under the coaling stage? I’ve tried to find a photo but I have been unsuccessful in finding one. I’ll probably end up doing my own thing and finding out it’s wrong afterwards when it’s too late.....that’s what usually happens 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it makes it much easier especially when spraying or airbrushing because I can move it around in all directions without having to touch it (I’m terrible for touching wet paint) Prior to this I use to use bluetac on the end of a stick but it wasn’t very reliable, especially when you turn it upside down and gravity overcomes the bluetac 1 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted July 16, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) I've not been able to do much of late but one thing I have been playing around with is this Just playing around at the moment, I'm not too serious about getting it finished let alone 3D printed I just liked the idea of having rolling stock that isn't available RTR and no longer available in kit form Plus its a Loriot and I'm worth it Edited July 16, 2020 by chuffinghell 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted July 19, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2020 I've done a bit more 3D modelling this weekend, haven't had the chance to do any proper modelling I've had to use a little modellers license in places to get around the limitations of 3D printing 3 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted July 19, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2020 I’ve designed it to take Alan Gibson 10.5mm wheels and bearings and Bachmann cranked couplings Just got to add the rivets, DC brake levers etc and it’s potentially ready to get 3D printed.....maybe (not decided yet) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing your WW2 flats I looked into something similar that would suit the region and time period I’m modelling and found no Loriot L machinery wagons available in OO gauge in either RTR or kit form so I thought I’d draw my own 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see why not, I imagine you would just scale it up 1.5833? Obviously the wheel bearing sizing would have to be checked etc You can get an O gauge kit for a Loriot M 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
