Dannyboy2891 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hiya Matt Try Chris J Ward 3d printed models (cwrailways.com) great prices and can be supplied with chassis at extra reasonable cost. I cant speak for all .. but I am sure lots would agree they are fab way to start building your collection up. Another great part is you primer the model and you can choose whatever paint scheme you want as your the one who paints it. Both Chris and his wife are always out at all types of model railway exhibitions and are very warm and friendly people - I highly recommend them Hope this is helpful Kind Regards Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyboy2891 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hi Matt, happy to help a fellow modeller. Yeh it is an impressive range that keeps growing month by month and not to mention many different scales. Please do post up some pictures of your layout or a track plan of what your aiming to do?. If I may just say.. If this is to be a first or second time layout, then why not keep the plan small, simple and with plenty of operational interest?. Whatever you choose to do.. Just enjoy every moment. Look forward to seeing or reading your next update. Best Wishes Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rue_d_etropal Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 There is a lot out there for OO9 using 3D printing. Tom Bell has a good range on his Shapeways webpage (Tebee). Tom does get to some shows. I have most of my WW1 locos resized down to OO9 now, including the 40hp Simplex which will fit the new Tomytec chassis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt the c stock Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 the plan,also my 2nd layout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt the c stock Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 For a starter, that's ideal: not too much track, so plenty of exercise in ballasting and scenicing w/o breaking the bank. Or your money piggy Operationally, it's rather limited. That's not a problem at all, you just need more imagination oh!forgot to mention its an army line,sorry bout that NOW more doodles for ideas!

Dannyboy2891 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hi Matt Plan looks good .. any particular army line in mind or a fictitious one?. Whichever it turns out to be .. Hope you enjoy building it. Look forward to seeing more in the future. Best Wishes and Kind Regards Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjcampbell Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Keeping it simple is a very good idea for a first layout. It allows the project to be completed quickly for one thing! However if the layout is to represent a terminus/end-of-line a run-round loop would be a good idea, and would add interest. How big a layout are you thinking? I'd recommend the 009 society - I've been a member since I was 12! As well as a magazine they have an excellent sales service with second-hand stock, and new Minitrains at discounted prices. There's local area groups all over the country, and many organise "member's day" shows.

mjcampbell Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 My smallest layouts were my 6th and 8th, I think... but I'd meant in a new scale. I took from your opening post you were new to 009? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
