Class 73/9 - development of a body shell or kit......
LMSfan72 commented on LMSfan72's blog entry in Andrew's 3D print builds
The body fits the Hornby chassis too so they are actually very similar dimensions -

My second sleeper waiting decals. It took a lot longer to get here as I required for multiple light functions: Day, Night, Tail each end and selectable so I can have either end off. Also fitted an EOT at one end. Loksound 5, all wire and LEDs mounted in the body so I replace the Dapol board with a simple 8-pin socket and mounted the decoder I the body too. -

Taken a while to get here with this one as I decided to go full function lighting which meant a complete rewire of the chassis and the body. This has day, night, tails on both ends which can be also switched on and off on end at a time. I also added an EOT lamp. Ready for decals and bogie paint: -
I think my first go will be just moving the buildings, at the correct scale, to fit the gaps since the track fits the board and ignore the photo footprint

I think he'd keep in the same 3 word style: Passage Up Uranus

Hmmm. Looks like a rookie mistake for me… I thought I’d scaled the photo properly but it appears that I am significantly out. The track seems to fit nicely but now I have printed and triple checked the buildings I reckon I am probably 30% out! Now I have found a close up of the rail spacing it seems to confirm it: That is going to significantly affect what I do! N-gauge??!

Hi Sean Here’s a finished sleeper with the Mk5s. I’m happy for people to PM me if they want to give the conversion a go with my parts -
I came back to this after I wasn’t happy with the lining sitting on the grills. So, with nothing to lose I just masked off around the red stripe, applied a light grey Vallejo primer and then the blue. No problem at all with covering the red with only relatively light coats

The orange I used on 73962 was very light on pigment - turns out is is apparently a transparent paint! - so for 73963 I tried a different paint. Pretty good match to Accurascales: -

Mentor was sitting too high on the B4 bogies. So, I cut the turrets off the bogies and printed a flush pivot mount: Much better now! -

I just need to sort out the bogie height with the B4s on - they sit higher than the Commonwealth bogies that Bachmann originally fitted. -

These all take a Bachmann Mk1 chassis with the coach ends cut off -
None with either of mine

My early Mentor is back on the workbench. A simple job to cut the coach ends of a Bachmann Mk1 chassis. The body fits it and has the screw holes in the right place too. As I have 97201 “Experiment” on the way as well as the Accurascale Mk2B coaches in RTC livery I thought I’d kick it on a bit! -

Having spent more time on the WIPACs getting them better for fitting LEDs I decided that this one will be wired to a Loksound chip with at least 10 functions to control more light modes at both ends. put back on its jig whilst I wait for supplies! -

Went back and made a couple of minor changes to 73971. Replaced the cab mounted shark fins and base with a better version, added the cowl just behind the cab -
