pharrc20 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Now that the collection of ICI Hoppers is growing, its time to turn to how we run full trains. Filling the entire hopper with a limestone substitute would result in a very heavy wagon. Next best thing to build a platform in the hopper and put a covering of limestone substitute. So turning to the 3D printer and a couple of prototypes we end up with IMG_0812.JPG IMG_0813.JPG A closer look at the 3D print IMG_0814.JPG I will add a couple more pictures when I have applied the limestone simulate Another 15 to go Hi Andy, will your 3d printed bases be available to purchase at all? My hoppers look a bit bare without any loads in at present.Cheers Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gridwatcher Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Have you got anywhere with sorting drop in loads for the ICI hoppers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandhole Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 A couple of pictures from tonight...we had a 12 wagon set and a 16 wagon set. First Innocentman's 8F and 16 wagons just about to be passed by a CoBo 20181010_193442_resized.jpg and a view of the CoBo and 12 hoppers 20181010_193307_resized.jpg Some of the very heavily weathered Hattons wagons are in the 16 rake. General opinion...far too brown! when I can transfer it I have a very short video..just working out how it works! Baz Just got back from Hazel Grove exhibition. Great exhibition, very friendly as always. Not many people there for a Sunday! I hope they made a bit of money. As usual, really good layouts, one of which was a great Buxton line area layout running ICI hoppers. This finally brings me to my point!! I have now seen some heavily weathered hoppers. I agree with the general opinion, too brown!! Still damn good value though!! Chris. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them every single day as a kid and my memory (apart from the odd clean one) was pretty much overall dark grimy brown....? Mine will do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah you should have said hello I was operating on HV most of the day trying to keep the hoppers running. I saw Fordbank Andy on Saturday and was behind MartinWales with Kinmundy for weekend. For a Sunday the attendance was about usual for us maybe a bit more than last year. Will find out figures at our review meeting soon.Cheers Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted October 29, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 29, 2018 So, To see Chapel en le Frith "in the flesh" complete with one loaded and one empty hopper train (plus lots of others including the tunnel repair train) you can see it at the following exhibitions next year: January Normanton & Pontefract February New Mills @ Chapel en le frith September Steam Swindon (return visit) October Leeds (tbc) November Newcastle. Hopefully we can also do club room visits on certain Saturdays over this winter. PM me if you would like to come and see it. Baz 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see at least four empty roads plus a few partly empty there!Missing the blue Pullman set and Mike's stock. And two trains on the scenic side! With the extra dead end sidings we were trying out the modus operandi. Hence outer loops will be left empty. That worked well Baz PS lots of stock available when required...
