Have you looked at wireless security cameras or baby monitors with cameras. You may be able to find some cheap ones on ebay / amazon

I'm sad to hear about Crofton, But I can understand the decision, I'm also in the process of tearing down my half built layout due to health reasons too. I just wanted to thank you for the inspiration you provided with Crofton for myself and can't wait to see what you move onto when you are able too.

This is truly awesome, Whats the width of the 4 track helixes I'm needing to make some and the size would go along way to helping plan!

It looks awesome, great job on it.

If I was to scale this for N, how much should I shrink it by?

The body is around 350mm long and printed in 5 parts to fit on the bed

I have 2 printers one is near stock with a glass bed and a dii cooler as the only mods.

 

The other is more heavily modified with a glass bed, dii cooler, microswiss hotend and z braces.

 

Both seem to print about the same quality so am not planning upgrade any further.  Printing something that large takes hours!   just the Cab alone is 44 hours. but the quality is great.

Did you make the files for that, it looks great!

Ditto, always thought "Azuma" sounded bad, and it's even worse now that I've spotted what everyone has presumably known for ages - please don't tell me it's deliberately supposed to be "A zoomer."

Azuma is the Japanese for east, Virgin thought they would call it that because its Japanese and for the east cost I guess.

I've been thinking augmented reality would be interesting for this and a bunch of other stuff like having passengers on platforms that load and unload etc

Hi All,

As promised, the link to all the POP 1 model stl files, these can be loaded into any cad/art package.

 

I have included every single part file, and some test ones, plus the PDF instructions.

Although I have pulled the plug on production, I am still going to finish the N gauge version, and again will post the files on here.

 

Hope you all enjoy.

 

Regards

 

Paul

Can't wait to see the N version, and you are a champion for sharing them for free!

The Pendolino was designed by Paul Priestman of Priestman Goode design studios. I spoke to him when we were researching the Pendolino for the Revolution/Rapido model and he told me that his prime inspiration was classic British sports cars of the 1960s, in particular the E-type Jaguar.

 

There certainly seems to be something of the streamlined A4s and LMS Coronations in there too though...

 

Cheers

I've always thought that the pendolino would look great in LMS crimson with the gold stripes!

Thanks for the update! Its great how you guys keep us updated on everything!

I think that my new layout may count 50' of scenery in N gauge ^.^
