Bluebell Model Railway

ok.... I was, who's put a bee in your bonnet?  I appreciate the assistance however I had exhausted every spares website. I'm sorry you have miss understood my meaning.

oh are they? Last time I looked they were out of stock... in fact still are, have been out of stock for a few years.

Snap hehe

New Hornby announcement, SECR one maybe..

Problem is Shapeways and the other Belgian one name escapes me, are the only ones with a shop.

What I tend to do is get a prototype printed here in the UK in a similar material or something close to the specs of a shapeways material, then I put it up for sale as for me that's a pass. So I avoid all the prices from Shapeways.

Or just manage the sales yourself and use someone reliable in the UK.

Stopped using them ages ago... prices, poor QC started using a 3D print up in the UK using home printers... they seem to know more than the students working at shapeways.

Im 8 months out of work sadly same situation, sadly having to be quite clever to bring in a bit of cash, don't believe in joining the benefits queue.

That's cool I just had a google of it I see what you mean, I shall give them a call tomorrow, and discuss with them, as it doesn't say it will fit a K's but worth an ask.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for that, I just had a look, not a bad price might have to give them a call, would like a bit more info on the chassis I guess it's just a milled block with very little improvement on detail?

indeed, some say the rods holes on the rods to cylinders were 2mm to long... or they actually are..

Level flat surface, checking the alignment as I go, but it just seems distorted. on a falat surface the frames appear level, axles and wheels on to check all 4 contact points are touching but it appears to be rocking measured the tops of the axles to the top of the chassis seems to check ok.

its just one of those screw together k's jobbies.

Metropolitan A-Class.. when I think I have it all square.. then it turns out not to be when the wheels are put on.

He did looked rather shocked when you said they were Malachite or satin black

never bring rucksacks I know the rules, shower on route usually from the sky.

Cheers I will need it.

Nice I have one.

All that just to change a light bulb eh?

Not looked on facebook much then I think its pretty much a dead cert that there will be at least one.

I find this status riveting

Yes possibly will take some work on, although doing so at the moment, Matthew, good question I have had a few sample prints from FormLabs, and waiting for a couple of others... then the question of money begins.

Indeed seems to of gone down well... although the next items not far behind.

Yes indeed, and it wasn't a metropolitan coach.. waste of time eh?

Hope you get some employment Simon, and good luck with the new prints, I have another to send off when I have a bit of spare cash.

Metropolitan Railway stock.

Should be out around November / December 14.
