That looks fantastic, Chris.

So many questions.

1) You said the weight was just enough - how much does it weigh?

2) What technique do you use for creating rivets?

3) Do your hook and chain  couplings rely on 'the Hand of God' in operation?

Looking forward to your Bury Goods.

ps, Did I mention that is an amazing model?

Hi Chris.

Thanks for showing how you've designed the loco to breakdown into sections.

All very clever and good ideas that can be borrowed.

Question 1 - do you have a special technique for 'grooving' the boiler? 

Hi Chris.

Not sure if you would be interested but I have been working on my own version of a Bury Goods.

It has only taken 2 years and there isn't much to show, but I have just had my wheels made in FUD at Shapeways.

First impressions are very promising although I haven't tried a fitting yet.

The wheel is designed to fit as an insert into a Gibson 20mm / 5ft tyre rim, and has a crank boss intended to take the Gibson crank pin system.

Note: I'm trying to add a screen grab of the STL but so far I'm failing.

I think I need to complete my 12 posts before adding to my gallery.
