I put together one of these and found it very handy -https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3442165

Thanks for the clear summary of this machine. Hopefully you can keep us updated with your progress as you get to know it better

What the rough cost of this set up? Looks very interesting

Sorry to butt in, but how did the station end up with such an unusual platform arrangement?

Another tactic is to hide a join behind a downpipe

As you invoked me I'll chime in with a couple of notes from a undated drawing of a GCR 6 wheel first. Probably from a slightly later period than the tri-composite, but it states teak panels on the outside, mahogany veneer on baywood inside.

I'm having trouble comprehending the sheer amount of building you have fitted in

A short usb extension cable can help

Photographic grey, but this appears to be painted rather than shiny - https://ba.e-pics.ethz.ch/catalog/ETHBIB.Bildarchiv/r/100993 Also grey, but inconclusive to my eyes - https://ba.e-pics.ethz.ch/catalog/ETHBIB.Bildarchiv/r/101164/ Green and looking a bit shiny - https://britbahn.wdfiles.com/local--files/gcr-11f-class/GCR_11E_No430_Marylebone_1917.jpg Same - https://britbahn.wdfiles.com/local--files/gcr-9n-class/GCR_9N_Class.jpg Same - https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/locomotive/images/5/55/GCR_8D.png LN&ER looking green - http://www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/25553327 Conclusion? Probably dull brass, perhaps changing to green at a later date?

A quick look at the local planning portal gives Market Rasen here, but only the public areas, the station master's accommodation was/is the other side of the entrance http://docs.west-lindsey.gov.uk/publisher/mvc/listDocuments?identifier=Planning&CaseNumber=131979

Having recently read 'Historical Railway Modelling' by David Jenkinson, it contains an interesting section on his Little Long Drag layout, that contained what he thought was every element he wanted, but lost his interest before it was completed. It was too unwieldy to operate on his own, among other things. Well worth a read if you haven't, a work of modelling philosophy in it's first half.

I contacted Xerxes the Great about the correct original pronunciation, but he was only interested in debating the merits of P4 vs EM

For 2 main reasons - to reduce the appearance of the layer lines especially on curved surfaces and to avoid large changes of surface areas between layers that can cause print failure and distortion. 3D printing, at the moment anyway, is akin to resin casting or brass etching. You don't have to do it yourself to gain the benefit. As process matures perhaps more people will print at home themselves, but I find the actual printing much harder than drawing up a design!

Hi Andy, Thank you for listing all these, I'm interested in the following if they are still available: Vintage Album - J.E. Kite Railway Carriages... - Hamilton Ellis Nineteenth Century Railway Carriages - Hamilton Ellis History of Manchester Railways - Harrison

Considering the penchant for fox hunts to meet at railway stations and the wealth of at least some of the riders, there seems to be few photographs of this happening. After all, these were not small affairs, 200 riders and an invited pack of hounds at Brocklesby in 1896.

Shapeways changing it's pricing structure, usually up, did for me. The printer pays for itself in a handful of prints Changes for v2 will be continuous supports to give a crisper edge and and to hide the vestibule join up inside the roof. Not entirely happy with the clerestory windows. I like the shape of them being open, but will be a pain to glaze if I put a hole in them

Showed MakeHuman to my daughter who loves playing Sims and is very interested in designing some figures for me

What's 5 years between friends or, indeed, posts? First proper prints on my Elegoo Mars, the centre 3rd of what will hopefully be a GCR dining 1st. Droopy corner at the bottom left needs an extra support, but apart from that a vindication of printing it vertically with supports only on the end. Second picture IPA bath and UV cure only.

Hi I spotted your post with the O gauge wagon on another thread and wonder if you could elaborate on how you joined the sections together? Both the part design for alignment and the material finish would be interesting

That looks really good; what angle did you print at and what supports did you use?

I used to see 37s with only a couple of tanks behind it at Barnetby. Or even a 66 - http://www.davesrailpics.bravehost.com/barnetby/barnetby31002.htm

With so much variation in real life, I'd go with the layout that gives the most consistent overall look to the rake as you are modelling the train in its entirety.

Comparing how much of the height of the brown part of panel the crest takes up, I'll make the unhelpful observation it seems to be somewhere between the two sizes, but closer to the larger one. Have you tried correcting the photo for perspective?
