Satan's Goldfish Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Many many months ago I bought a couple of wbf's 3d print bogies for a wagon project. The project is finally at a stage to show them off! Just couplings left to fit. This photo's quite cruel but the bogies really help it look the part. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan's Goldfish Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Nice one, How did you build it? Regards, Wild Boar Fell Thanks It started as an old grey Hornby TEA tanker, removed the tank from the chassis, removed all ladders and walkways then filled the holes left. Smoothed the filler on the tank then painted white with red stripe. Homemade transfers for panels and logos. Chassis was cut into 3 at the parts where it gets the narrowest. Removed aif tank and actuators from the narrow middle section to reuse on new under frame. Bogies removed from remaining 2 parts of chassis and yours fitted in their place then fitted back under the tank. New centre part of chassis is made from plastruct girders with air tank and actuators mounted on. Centre White equipment covers are plasticard with strip on. All done by eye looking at photos so probably not very accurate, just couplers to fit (length of plasticard and nem pocket fitted to bogies). The only parts not modified somehow were the bogies. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Boar Fell Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Great stuff Just one reminder however, is that the handbrake wheels need removing from the bogies to make them GP25's. Regards, Wild Boar Fell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Goldfish Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I knew there was a difference but couldn't quite remember what it was! It's not the sort of detail that will bother me that much It'll be off to my tame weatherer next to bland everything in. Some tank details i forgot: the round attachments on each end are 6mm washers, and an extra bit of plastic strip was added along the sides at the bottom to bulk the part that lines up with chassis top out a little. I'm quite glad i only wanted 1 of these and not an entire rake, took a long time getting that tank 'right'. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Boar Fell Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 As the info has now gone out to the magazines I think it is time for clue 2; A missing link. (Maybe too obvious) I will hopefully get back to showing CAD/ 3D Printing stuff soon. Regards, Wild Boar Fell 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeharvey22 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) The question is what sort of nuclear flask or flask carrier or barrier you are aiming for? There once was an H0 model of the monster 4 (?) bogie type which runs in France, and used to run in the UK, and maybe still does. Are you simulating the Old Dalby collision trials???

Wild Boar Fell Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) That would be this KMA I presume, same location (roughly) as the CATS/68's were photographed. Far too few rivets I am afraid. http://www.garethbayer.co.uk/wotw/great-britain/k-coded/?nggpage=4 Edited October 8, 2014 by Wild Boar Fell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Boar Fell Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Going swiftly back to CAD stuff, today I have been continuing work on a background project that I started nearly 1/2 a year ago. When I noticed that GBL Magazine were going to bring out a copy of the current Hornby Black 5 this gave me the idea of trying to model a rake of locomotives being towed for scrap, as is quite common in photos of the very late steam era. As I am planning a layout based on the Dallam Branch Siding (Warrington) this would make something a bit different to run occasionally. To add some variation to the 4 locos I was going to do some with and without lining. Unfortunately the tenders are copied from the welded tank version which ruled out using the riveting as a variant. To make a noticeable difference I decided to have a go at a self weighing tender (4 of these were built to 2 different designs) as they are pretty distinctive. The drawing is still in process, but it is being designed to fit the Hornby (Sound) tender chassis as I have swapped all the plastic tender chassis of the GBL models for these. Then moving from aesthetics to the mechanics; If you are not aware of the Great British Locomotives series I should point out they are static models with a cast metal chassis, naturally this won't roll and will short the layout out. To allow the models to be dragged I have drawn up a printed chassis (PLA) which I have slowly optimised to a point where I am happy with it. The 3 sections push together and will eventually be fixed (probably glued) to the body. To keep the cost down the models will use the Railroad range Black 5's driving wheels, but with the bogie from the main range model, this screws into the front of the chassis. The chassis have been test assembled and still require painting, the locos also need the majority of the valve gear removing too. Next time I get chance I will grab a photo of the assembled chassis.

Wild Boar Fell Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 This is looking excellent. I would assume it has an internal coal space? As I think working weighing equipment might be asking a bit much Yep thats the plan (coal space that is), efficiency tests of the loco proved that no coal was actually required for movement. Therefore the weighing equipment is unnecessary. Cheers, Wild Boar Fell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Boar Fell Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Not quite an RHTT flat/barrier wagon: Definitely too many rivets! Pre production prototype 1: I would have said come along and see the prototype at the Warrington show this weekend, but some twit has left it in the Midlands, the show is definitely worth a visit though.

Mike Storey Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Have only recently caught this thread. Your modelling is superb and the 3D products are some of the best I have seen. I noticed several posts back, some models of the JXA/PXA Sheerness Steel bogie scrap wagons, which looked awesome. Were these one-offs or have you/will you produce these for sale? If so, will you also consider the 102t POA/JXA series Sheerness scrap wagons (as previously made by Appleby)? You would get many orders from me for either or both! Alternatively, would you consider producing Schlieren bogies or bogie sides, to match any attempts at scratch-building the bodies, please?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
