  1. I need a lot more Mark 1s but availablity is not great at the moment, so considering Comet ones. As to Mark 2/2a, there is an accurate model you could fit the Bachmann windows and bogies to, scrapping the shells. Triang Hornby, they are spot on with major dimensions, just the glazing, and poor bogies on later ones, they do scrub up well. This is why I asked for one to be put next to a Accurascale 2B, to show how accurate the new model is. You get the feeling the toolmakers got to play with a real Mark 2.
  2. I want a longer* mineral wagon train, so started the usual bid on Airfix 16T with low bids, did not get any. 4 are 10ft, 4 or 5 are 8 shoe. Anyway will be maximum of 34, aiming for 15 or so. So of course checked thingiverse, printing out 2 at a go, now using ABSlike resin, no topflap conversion, no VB conversion, BUT no suitable for 9ft, so will be attempting my first resin axlebox swap, just need some split ones. Also at the annoying stage of needing a minimum of 6 of a particular loco class, 4 of another, and a lot more of a third. Getting to stage of not another 47. * got a 6 modeled so far of 9 MCV MXV MDV mixed rake
  3. More they are so expensive, oh and there are better tractor manufacturers.
  4. Accurascale EE Co Co with sound and DCC are getting there, i actually want some DC 50s.
  5. I need to build a new PC, how do I use the software on Linux? Dislike W10, refuse to use W Sausage
  6. They do 37s, and 37s pull them
  7. Just different sizes, as to 4 4 0 they are all similar. Same as most GWR panniers. More variety with prairies.
  8. Sorry I don't know, I was working off spotting information, then found a picture.
  9. Only got two but they would fit my plans fine .
  10. Yes, some had cranes. Either fit cranes or break off all end bits. The instructions are not exactly good. Crane ones fit with my plans.
  11. If you want it make it, i don't have the time to wait. Been waiting 40 years for cross country DMUs so made my own. I also have a short wishlist in with ironmink. Who was already considering the wagons. If any are done chassisless, would be my request due to different axleboxes .
  12. Worked the Sturgeons i need have cranes on them. Any sources please? Or a STL if not. Thankd Martin
  13. I need to change mine as needle is jamming. Tools are over £100, new brush is cheaper. How can i change the seal without the toolkit? Thanks
  14. How many are in the genuine 140 club? I have heard rumours of early GWML well over 130
  15. Working on another mineral wagon rake. Was looking at buying about 15 Airfix kits and doing top flap and vb. Too expensive now. So trialing ABS like resin, rather good, but my exposure was too short. Will repeat tomorrow. Using ironmink stls. 41900 is now at wheel time. But brake gear fouls.
  16. They are too soft, upping to 5 second exposures tomorrow.
  17. Will be using ABS like resin now, but still want a fdm as well. Now thinking of carriage sides minus overlay rather than laminating plasticard
  18. Very good first print, but too soft. 3.5 second too short even though recommended, going for 5
  19. For fun blue grey mark 1s are not well supplied. RTR Also the raised window frame ones
  20. Todays stuff. Put the wheels on, some binding on brakes. Need to move blocks in slightly. Two MCVs
  21. The GWR Collet gangwayed gaps are huge. No 70 footers, preserved, no excursion see DVR, no super saloons, no Sunshine BTK, no early 30s flat ended see SVR GWR 150 BCK.
  22. I have a Worsely works DMU but I think the windows are slightly deep. Got a GRCW 119 though.
