    Would be easier to buy your own stockings, no one would bat an eye nowadays. 😂

    Very neat spreader 👍

    Love the moody sky.

    Fortunately it is 4ft high from the rough floor to the underside of the joists, so you have to do the hunchback of Notre Dame, to get around, and the hwt is down there!!!

    I had the same issue, made it impossible to see any details until primer was applied.

    Same here, I have roots 4" plus in diameter in the crawl space,ready to trip you over, and crack your head on a beam. Tell me how I know 😂.

    Wow, just discovered this thread and have enjoyed reading through it. I love the railway in the landscape feeling you have captured. Look forward to seeing the progress. Stephen

    Look forward to seeing the results of clear prints, the other method I want to try is using microscope glass, making a slot inside to hold it in place.

    I believe one other pair of E40's was used on the Falmouth branch, generally with a U29 sandwiched between them. I have a 3d designs started, but need to find time to finish them and get them printed.

    I have used AK-Interactive true metal for a good representation of steel, there other metal paints such as copper gunmetal etc, are excellent. Stephen

    I would give it a try using the open one, the sealed bottles should be okay to use.

    Duncan have you tried using artists Matte medium diluted 2 parts water to 1 part, it is an excellent glue which stays flexible flows well and dries very clear and matt. Stephen

    Plenty of space in Canada but none in my office, three 3d printers a spray booth etc plus the need to exhaust the smoke!!!, I get there eventually. I had found a local company, that could do them for me, some time ago, but they went out of business.

    Wow, it captures the atmosphere, without a single piece of rolling stock, very nice. something a lot of people don't know about foam, is that it shrinks as it ages, which could be the cause of the gaps growing. Stephen

    Duncan Congratulations, I think you are going to be inundated in the next little while. can I Dm you with some new insight into supports etc. Stephen

    I am using the older version, but if i could find one, it would be easy enough to modify for the newer version, it took me a year to find the current because of where I live and the cost of shipping here etc. It could also be done with the dimensions, ie. front to rear length, width, distance from wheel centres etc.

    Here it is post support removal. there are quite a few changes needed before printing again, most of them minor, and significant changes to the supports. but overall I am happy with it.
  21. stevel
    Thanks for the info, I could do that with the support settings when it gets sliced. I do have to put some bracing under the cab area, to meet the chassis block for the Bachmann version, but this is not required for the etched chassis version.
  22. stevel
    Well, here is my first test print, still on supports and I see some areas that need improvement. more support needed in some areas, some less, and some things have not formed properly. Overall I'm not to unhappy with it, just needs a little more work to make a passable model.

    Just a little update on the 1854 saddle tank, made some more progress and some revisions to the dome and safety valve cover. Hope to do a test print this weekend and check the fit on the Bachmann chassis.

    My vote is for the all brown livery. 👍

    And no front step or higher handrail on the 1873. It is a minefield of differences. Does anyone make the early style lamp holder/front handrail bracket, it will be very fragile in resin.
