The underframe certainly looks better! You must be an expert on West Country tourism after drawing up those decals :-P

I will probably make it available through my shop at Shapeways, but only once I have updated the model to include the discharge bits at the bottom; For this test model I am using the discharge chutes from a grain Polybulk kit I have spare.

Kindest Regards,

Jack

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into getting some. I'll also look at getting a tap so I can make them NEM compatible using the brass block method; I'd rather keep the NEM pocket intact incase I need to run my rolling stock with other people's.

Thank you,

It is something I have considered; Most of my stock is new Farish and Dapol so it has NEM pockets, something that would plug strait into the NEM pocket would helpful. Do you have any recommendations?

Cheers,

Jack

Sorry Jo, I dooooon't beeelieve it!!!

The bullets look top, it'll make the rake more effective with inconsistencies in colour and spill patterns.

What is the reason for "HOWE" and "magnet", obviously because it's on the prototype but what does it actually mean?

Thanks all for the kind comments,

Jo - I know the picture you're on about, the angle of the picture is quite accute so they could be STS TTAs or possible another kind like the Tiger TTAs(another on the to do list!), http://gallery6801.fotopic.net/p64972672.html

Discharge doors will be ones stolen from an NGS grain polybulk. On future versions I may include them in the print. In total I'd like 4.

Jack

Cheers for the compliments,

I will take some shots of the 08 under better lighting conditions and include them in the next post.

The Material I use is White Detail from Shapeways, it is not rough but it does have print lines visable. The White Detail material is soft so it takes just a minute with some fine sand paper to give a completely smooth finish like the STS TTA.

Cheers,

Jack
