Rob R Posted Monday at 19:16 Share Posted Monday at 19:16 Scott, I use the transclucent resin because I reckon it is nearly all resin rather than a resin/grey filler mix which, to me, seems to take the sharpness off a little bit. I think we could do with some 9' 6" brake gear in the society stores...... Looking forward to seeing the finished article. Rob 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently I aquired a wondeful 3D printed wagon body for a GNR 9 Ton, 4 Plank, open wagon. This came from @Rob R of this parish and I'm hoping this will help me on my road to recovery. The body is produced from a translucent resin and the print very sharp. For me, with my limited experience in these matters, this has to be one of the best 3D prints I've seen and do question wether 3D printing is the way forward 🤔. There is no floor with the body but this is easily produced from a piece of 40thou Plasticard, suitably scibed to represent floor planks. Society Springy Beam W-Irons have been added, which is now my 'go to' method of suspension when building wagons. Now on to the brake gear.... I agree with you Scott that Rob's wagons are among the best 3D prints and designs I have seen. Even being able to see through the catches is amazing and the crispness of the print is excellent. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you get your mojo back soon Scott and if this wagon does the trick then great! I agree that Rob's GNR wagons are among the very best 3D design and prints. The crispness and ability to see through the catches is brilliant. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timber Posted Thursday at 17:09 Share Posted Thursday at 17:09 This engine is not new.....built it a while ago. But the wheels are. Rewheeled with the new Stainless Steel tyres from China and my own axle system. 8 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosedale Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago It looks really good, as it always did, but the wheels look great too. Very interested to hear more about the new axle system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
