Vanguard 5374 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Model is in very tough form right now, probably going to be printed firstly as N scale due to cost and then I'll be doing a few OO versions, with more detail, for my planned OTP Depot layout. Not had any drawings to hand sadly but have been measuring the real thing and working from several photographs. Closest basis for the design work will be 73911, 73912 and 73913.

MGR Hooper! Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 You'll need to beef up a lot of those details and walls if you want to print that in N scale. Otherwise you'll end up with a badly warped model. I'd also suggest doing the CAD for the OO and N gauge versions separately. Otherwise you'll have chunky details in the OO gauge version if you scale it up from N gauge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment it's nothing more than rough outlines, with placeholder items suxh as the buffers and bogies (simple flat items to give an idea on scale) until I measure up the prototype again. As it stands the window surrounds need to be thinned significantly as they are too thick for the prototype. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard 5374 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 Long overdue update, haven't done too much but started drawing up buffers, bogie frames, details etc measured from 73913 and 73920. Still a long way to go but trying to proceed with it in order to make a printable model in the next few months. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanguard 5374 Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 Been way too long since I updated this, 73913 was in the workshop a few weeks ago so got some more details drawn and pencilled in. I'd say it's 90% complete now so will be sent to Shapeways in January. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flex2wees Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Looks great! Would definitely be interested in a OO one when they are available! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
