alibuchan Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hi Guys, I have been working on some CAD for the modern Warflats and Warwells and also the Rail Head Treatment Trains. As these aren't available in any form at the moment, and having a bit of a soft spot for the military trains I decided that the only thing I could do was have a go on my own. The N gauge Society kits that are the ex. parkwood models are currently being updated but will not be updated to produce the modern variation. for the warwells and warflats, I have set about scaling down a 00 gauge very basic drawing and working from this and many pictures. And for the RHTT, I have used another basic drawing that was sent to me. Here are some screen grabs showing the work that I have done on them so far. There is still a fair bit of work to do on the 2 MOD wagons but hopefully they wont be too much longer. They will make use of the ATM - Gloucester 22.5 bogies. However I have only just sent off my order for them, so I will have to wait for them to arrive before I can complete these drawings. The RHTT modules are basically complete however I have had some issues with uploading them to shapeways and having them considerably shrink, which I will have to look at. They are designed to fit on to the Dapol Spine wagon. Regards Alistair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted March 2, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2013 Look forward to seeing the prints. The RHTT modules are particularly appealing to me. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibuchan Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hi guys,Just a couple of update shots of the warwell and warflat wagons.These have now stopped, until I receive the ATM Gloucester 22.5 bogies that I have ordered from ATM. Thanks to Ben A, who noticed a mistake I had made, on the warflat, whilst reading the drawings and looking at pictures and gave me the info to correct it. I will now be starting work on a STVA car transporter based on this that Electrotren have produced. Alistair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricboo Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 when the RHTT is ready I am definately interested and would look to order a set Hi Guys, I have been working on some CAD for the modern Warflats and Warwells and also the Rail Head Treatment Trains.

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted April 20, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 20, 2013 Hi , RRHT modules look good in the drawings and I look forward to buying several sets when you are ready. Shapeways Customer service guys do a grand job and I have some T gauge models in FUD that are brilliant so I am sure they will help and the prints will be fine. Have fun and a big thanks for making modelling easier for us three thumbed modellers Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibuchan Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Unfortunately the RHTT has ground to a halt, as they failed the printing process, and someone else on the n gauge forum has already produced them and is just doing the final touches to it. The Warwell and Warflat has been printed and is slowly going through the paint shop and will be getting some modified warrior loads. Alistair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted April 21, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hi the RHTT on N forum does indeed look the part - seems waiting time to finsh did note it was heavily lined but perhaps later ones better - recently had T gauge class 24 body that is fine. Good to wait this one out I think Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibuchan Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hi guys, I have completed some more drawings. The first one is for the water tender that has been used with bittern and Flying Scotsman it uses a Farish LNER 8 wheel tender chassis and comes with a pair of couplings 1 long and 1 short. The second is for the Network Rail New Measurement Train. It is a replacement roof panel designed to fit on to the Dapol MK3 coach. It has the pantograph well and basic equipment represented. Both are available on my shapeways page. https://www.shapeways.com/shops/Alswagons Regards Alistair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jbqfc Posted July 16, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 16, 2014 the NMT MK3 roof looks good will have to get one when I get round to doing my conversion as will save me a lot of work john Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted July 16, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hi My roof arrived a day or so ago - a great project and does what it says on the tin - well worth the punt. Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammstein2609 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Just ordered myself the NMT MK3 roof. Luckily I spotted this before i started hacking up a Dapol roof and making a complete mess of things. Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibuchan Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Thanks Martin. That's why I did it. I did hack up a Dapol roof and did a bit of mischief to my finger in the process! Alistair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
