Sandhole Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hi PGH - It was the builder of that 7mm version shown on your layout who kindly sent me his own drawings of the loco., enabling me to build an EM version. I've attached a photo. for comparison. WP_20151018_16_39_31_Pro.jpg Lovely model of a locomotive that has fascinated me for years! I realise that there are copyright issues, but any chance of you being able to put a copy of the drawings on this forum please. Chris. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a copy of the drawing referred to but, from what the original builder - who has the copyright - told me at the time, I think he would not like to see the drawing published on this forum.

Arthur Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Could copies be made available just to interested individuals? Perhaps commercially i.e. paid for, or maybe with a donation to charity? Obviously the decision would be one by the originator of the drawings. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium maridunian Posted April 9, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Hi - I'm investigating the feasibility of producing a 3mm model of this locomotive for the Berliner Bahn/Zeuke TT 0-8-0 chassis used under their BR81 and DR92 locos. Recognising that drawings might not be available, could somebody please supply the most vital statistics, such as length over headstocks, height over cab/chimney and wheelbase? Wheel diameter was quoted as 3' 6" above, but I can't find the other dimensions. Thanks in advance! Mike Edited April 11, 2021 by maridunian Corrected wheel diameter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium maridunian Posted April 17, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Thanks again to @Barclay for his vital statistics. I have used these to scale the side elevation maker's photograph higher up the thread in order to draft a body-shell for 3D printing in 3mm scale. My goal is to produce a model for the Zeuke chassis mentioned above, so I've also created a 3D blank of the chassis which can be used to hollow out a suitable cavity under the body-shell, basically subtracting some of the material added in stage 1. The Zeuke footplate punches through my footplate around the smokebox but will be flush so that's Ok. Other tight spots have been tweaked and adjusted away. I've uploaded a first draft body-shell to Shapeways and now await the results in a week or so. If it works, I shall probably offer this for sale. The renders can be seen online at https://www.shapeways.com/product/2LF5D9NGJ/tt-nasmyth-wilson-0-8-0 Fingers, etc all crossed!

I'll have a go at scratching the chassis. Got the wheels, Got Jamieson valve gear too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A model scaled from a photo and adjusted to fit an an existing chassis probably won't be improved by growing it 33%... Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium maridunian Posted April 24, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) Well, here's the first print just back from Shapeways, unwashed and unfettled. It appears to fit the chassis, (always reassuring) which is going to need surgery at both ends. The print includes new buffer beams and steps, not yet fitted. Lots of measuring and design tweaking to do now, whilst trying to turn this print into an acceptable model. Watch this space!

Mike Just thought I'd report that my 3mm 3D printed Nasmyth is approaching completion: I've made the print available from Shapeways.
