You don't seem to have considered Alan Gibson, Peartree or Roxey suppliers??

Speak to Laurie Griffin about the saloons from LB&SCR. Cheers, Ian

Glad you could use the wheel prints as casting masters. It all looks brilliant, as ever. Looking forward to eventually seeing some of this sometime in the future. Cheers, Ian

Hi Chris,

I will echo Eric's thoughts! Cheers, Ian

Brilliant! That gives so much extra depth to the whole thing when looking left! Excellent extra. And the mugs look good too! Cheers Ian

Just sold the photon for 65 gbp less than a mars pro. It does make a difference but Saturn from Elegoo in late November and this news from Anycubic and others for same size using 4k mono screen are going to be worth getting for the size. 7mm! Cheers Ian

Red is a very translucent pigment  so will usually need more than one coat! Looking good. Cheers

The hobby is important! Thankfully we do have something that is both absorbing of time and of interest too! I've just bought a Mars Pro and the difference is clear, a better UV source gives better prints.

Cheers Ian

Have you increased the gearing? or is this a belt drive also? Keep it going!!!!!!!

Can't you mask off with bluetac or something else?

Looks interesting! Cheers Ian

Keep at it! You are getting some brilliant results! And this is a great blog, keep that going too! Cheers

that might well be the shape of the gears. Did you just trace something or did you use a formula derived curve? Getting there though aren't you!! Cheers Ian

oh, and inside as opposed to outside cylinders! So not very close at all really!

Lovely modelling!

The banking engine looks very similar to the Bury rebuilds of 1850/1. A slightly different firebox, that seems the most difference. Anyway, keep producing these glorious early builds, absolutely delightful! Cheers Ian

Yes that is an improvement but with higher gearing that would be a lot better. Go for it, you are going in the right direction and with a higher ratio, using the compound gears, you should be able to make it very controllable. 

Nice!

Good job it wasn't windy! Yes, the bugs are about up here too and so I am not painting again!

Good overview but no settings showing at 17mins as only main screen showing on video.

An interesting idea.  I have a spreadsheet set on my desktop with similar dimensions.  Keep going!

I seem to be quite a bit slower than you when I am designing bits for the 3D printer! That looks an interesting design, like the louvres!

PCB Wizard! Yes that was the other software with Control Studio! I had my year 8 students making all sorts of alarms for their easter eggs, bikes, diary, etc. I find it hard to believe that I have been retired 4 years now due to Tinnitus, having stopped lecturing after 13 years in the Merchant Navy College at Fleetwood then and that it was whilst teaching in secondary schools design & technology two years before that, when I had to stop from the initial bout of Tinnitus, that I was using that software etc having been I on its initial trials about 8 years before that with Manchester University teacher training people. Golly, 27  years ago! Well, it is still very nice to see people putting into use some of the things they may have learnt in schools, that bit of being a teacher never leaves you. Do you do this just as a hobby? 

That looks interesting. Haven't seen that for about 20 years! Used to use a programme called crocodile clips and control studio that digitised the unilab systems boards and then output a pcb. I then had the students make up pcbs using the UV exposure and bubble etch tanks. There was a whole test procedure so everything could be made to work so a great motivator for them, I used to teach this with 13 year olds and they loved it. Nice to see people using this sort of thing in the hobby and being able to talk about it so well. Makes for an interesting blog. 20 days already!!!!

I would be interested to see a comparison of the motors, sizes, speeds etc if you can do it?

I haven't seen a breadboard for about 20 years so that was a shock! Used to teach D&T Control tech with those and then etch the boards. Keep going, very interesting. Cheers Ian

That looks really nice. If I weren't in the middle of the 1860s modelling at the moment, I would have one! Cheers Ian

Interesting to see the supports.
