RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted December 21, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 21, 2022 Having drawn and produced 3d printed models of the TT072F ex acetone TTAs for china clay slurry use, (along with the Rainbow TU013A) I would like to model a couple more variants of these slurry tanks to add a bit of extra interest. In particular I would like to model one of the TT072G tanks (also ex acetone) which had a much larger barrel diameter diameter than the two designs I already have). I would also like to model a TT072D which had a smaller diameter barrel. I have had a look through the book of drawings on the Barrowmore website but I cant find any suitable drawings there (I can only see the TT072A) This thread (which has been archived) included a post by @Flood with an image (naturally lost during the server crash) below a caption referencing TT072D, was this a drawing? Would love to see a copy if anyone has it saved. I would also love to find a source of a drawing of the TT072G tanks if one exists. Thanks R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flood Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Here are the two diagrams: I did get them from the Barrowmore site, the document you want is BRB Vehicle Diagram Book No. 300 - Part 3 http://www.barrowmoremrg.co.uk/BRBDocuments/Book300Part3Dugdale01.gif Edited December 23, 2022 by Flood 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TT072G clearly has undergone major changes since that drawing was valid, as it doesnt appear to have the conical ends. However I think between the key dimensions from the drawing (barrel diameter in particular), along with taking estimates from photos I will be able to get it where it needs to be. All being well I should get the drawing sorted out over Christmas... 13 minutes ago, Wickham Green too said: Those are totally outside my modelling timescale - but they're lovely models ..... are you making the prints available for others ? Thanks, I am very pleased with just how well they have come out. I have looked into making parts available. Unfortunately I find home production is a little too time consuming, although I am tempted to upload everything onto Shapeways to at least offer one route to market for them. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted December 27, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 27, 2022 Lots of progress on this, with a design pretty much there for the TT072G Untitled by The Fatadder, on Flickr Untitled by The Fatadder, on Flickr Untitled by The Fatadder, on Flickr There were big differences between the tanks in the late 90s and the barrowmore drawing so its taken a lot of working from photos to get to the end result. This is what it will end up like https://flickr.com/photos/tutenkhamunsleeping/5263382692/ Going to draw the TT072A this evening, and print them both in the new year, all being well they will be in service by the time of Wheal Imogens first show of the year in April. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted December 27, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 27, 2022 And here is the TT072D, this time shown on the subframe that needs cutting off before mounting on the chassis (I found on the TT072F design that it was tricky to keep the floor flat when printing which was resolved by adding this sub frame). All ready to start printing once I get home from Christmas, will be able to print one G and one D at the same time which helps. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
westie7 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 On the subject of similar tanks, can anyone ID the leading ICI tanks cheers Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted March 30 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 30 Looks like the earlier version of the tank that Rainbow released (running on leaf springs) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
