I have just purchased a new ruston myself. Thank you. They certainly were fiddly! Easily my favourite Hornby loco ever 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lincolnshire Poacher Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) Work and endless jobs has led to little progress on the layout. I did manage to knock up a couple of lights for the the platform half, copper tube, nano LED and 3d printed shade (in the process of tidying and hiding the enamel wire). Also a bit more progress on the pub Edited March 29, 2021 by The Lincolnshire Poacher 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lincolnshire Poacher Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Well got a bit distracted from the layout again! Been working hard on scratch building some wagons for the layout. I designed these wagons in tinkercad and printed with elegoo mars printer, they are made of two main parts (chassis and body work ) and work out considerably cheaper than rtr wagons! 7 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveyDee68 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The more I see 3D printing, the more I think it is possibly a way forward for me to model, given my current lack of skills! One really basic, possibly stupid question - why are things printed at an angle rather than flat? Meanwhile am thoroughly enjoying your photos and layout, and looking forward to more in the future!

Ian Holmes Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Nice layout. I always like to see layouts with a Lincolnshire feel to them. I may well have had a pint or two in The Morning Star in my younger days... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve S For 2 main reasons - to reduce the appearance of the layer lines especially on curved surfaces and to avoid large changes of surface areas between layers that can cause print failure and distortion.

You don't have to do it yourself to gain the benefit. As process matures perhaps more people will print at home themselves, but I find the actual printing much harder than drawing up a design! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lincolnshire Poacher Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) A little running video on the layout. Have just installed some ABC braking boards and set up a little shuttle with the Ruston allowing it to run back and forth on its own from one fiddle yard to the other.
