Would a 3D printed roof be an option?

Thanks for confirming the tumblehome usage - I didn't know it was also used in naval circles...

 

The LNER definitely used the term "Turnunder":

The cab windows of the South Eastern Finecast also look extremely odd with too big a gap between them.

Have a look at Openshot Video Editor which is free.

Interesting. When I followed your new link I got the same issue. Clicked on Home and got the prompt for cookies and chose Decline. Now scroll bars appear on the articulated pages including if I reclick on your link.

Same problem with Firefox and Windows 10

Brilliant. Many thanks.

I hope the (for Wave 3 or 4) announced Gresley Coaches will include also the Main Line Variants.

Where has this been announced for TT:120?

Would these help? Manufactured by Markits:

The only thing that catches the eye are the safety valves which are a fraction over 2mm so that makes them 9-10” diameter. It looks similar to the Ian Beattie drawing so I assume that’s correct. 

 

 

For comparison:

Just in time for the Flower and light parades. Highly recommended.

Not as such. The drawing that follows that one specifies the various cross section ellipses. Scroll down further and there is an annotated drawing showing which ellipse goes where.

That is true however in fairness Dart have extended it.

Not any more.

This drawing from that thread might be easier.

Try looking through this topic on Western Thunder:

Insert a blade or thin card/styrene between the body and chassis to release the tabs. You may have to slide the separator along the join until they release.

I have used a paint stripper heat gun to warm the resin and build plate before starting a print. Once the print has started the machine generates enough heat to keep the process working.

Correct.

Seeing the drawing, I am now wondering if the castings for the buffer housings were actually the same for left and right sides. That looks symmetrical about the horizontal centre line, so other than having a different fixing bolt to secure the other end of the chain, the casting might work for either side by just turning it upside down. The mounting for the collar on the buffer beam is a separate part (made from hardwood) rather than part of the main casting.

 

As you say the casting is the same however when the buffer includes a head with the flat top, common on the LNER, you need left and right hand versions.

I must admit to never having heard of left-hand and right-hand buffers on LNER stock (every day is a school day).

Only on vestibule stock:

They look as if they are X52/53 Hornby TRIANG CROSSHEAD ASSY R/H & L/H EARLY PRINCESS

Wooden railways?

 

In the days when I was a 'scale' modeller, I made these as Christmas presents for our younger son, John, when he was in his pre-school years............. He's now 40! 

 

 

 

 

The scale? He could sit on the carriage roof with ease.

 

The gauge? I don't know; I never made any track! 

 

All I know is that he had hours and ours of fun with these (I made lots of others), which is what it's all about

Bet that was hard to solder!
