Allegheny1600 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Hi Gents, Looks like either Bill Bedford has started a new range or someone has taken over, perhaps? http://www.mousa.uk.com/index.html Anyway an interesting new range of easy to build resin kits coming available!

iak Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Tis still the Beeg Bearded One.... He has other goodies pending as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Oh good! I'm pleased to hear it is still Bill! Yes, his other goodies coming later look tempting, let alone what is coming soon - must get something from this line! Cheers, John E. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 An interesting development. The last time I spoke to Bill he was still considering how to take the new range forward. Resin offers the scope for better flush glazing where applicable. Hmmm ... Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Max Stafford Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Well, I get the home page, but Chrome won't connect to any of the other pages. What's he offering anyway? Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted June 24, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2010 no probs with IE8 .... He's offering lots lot broad gauge 4mm stuff too hot for me coat ....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigwelsh Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Well, I get the home page, but Chrome won't connect to any of the other pages. What's he offering anyway? Dave. Try http://www.mousa.uk.com/locos/claud.html#story-so-far which works fine in chrome. The 'link' on the index page saying resin is just a link back to the index by the way.. no probs with IE8 .... He's offering lots lot broad gauge 4mm stuff All narrow gauge actually for anyone counting the GWR gauge as the proper broad gauge . His site works fine in Firefox, Chrome or IE though its not got much to sell on it at the moment and the MU kits don't appear there yet. IE - 'industry standard' :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Wintle Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 All narrow gauge actually for anyone counting the GWR gauge as the proper broadstandard gauge . It does look like an interesting collection of products. BTW the site works fine in IE6. Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cctransuk Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 It does look like an interesting collection of products. BTW the site works fine in IE6. Adrian Correct me if I'm wrong, but the moulding on the "The story so far" page is surely an example of 3D printing. To my eye, the moulding seems to exhibit the 'pebbledash' effect common on most affordable current technology 3D printed mouldings. As such, I can't see there being too much take-up amongst the fine-scale audience at which these kits are presumably aimed. Elsewhere on RMweb we've seen what can be achieved in the way of zero 'pebbledash' by using, at a price, cutting edge ultra-high-res. US 3D printing technology to produce masters for conventional casting. Unfortunately, I believe that we'll have to wait a bit longer before this high-res. technology is affordable for direct use as kit mouldings. Just my two penn'orth! Regards, John Isherwood.

I think Bill is indeed using 3D printing for his masters and has been showing a few different objects including wheel centres and brake rigging on his stand in the past. His recent kits do include brakes that are resin http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/topic/16946-batch-building-p4-loco-chassis/ This is a route I want to go down in the future but I agree i'll need to wait for the technology Hollywood foundry showed elsewhere to come down in price.

Lazer cut glazing would help though.. That Claude looks nice. Can't see any of the other stuff though. I guess this machine and his just don't get on...

chrisf Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 It would help flush glazing because the sides are thicker than etched brass, therefore you cut panes to fit inside the aperture and flush with the outside. Conventional wisdom places glazing inside the body of a coach made from etched brass so it can't be truly flush. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conventional wisdom places glazing inside the body of a coach made from etched brass so it can't be truly flush. Chris Be careful what you say, check your prototype, not all stock, steel sided or wooden framed is truly flush glazed. If true flush glazing on etched sides is required it is quite simple to do the rebate to allow this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
