MrWolf Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I meant to ask ages ago Chris, what are you using for the sand boxes? I was going to see what I could get from Wizard / MT or similar and make wire pipes. If picked up some brass rid for brake rigging. Now that I have proved the modified Hornby chassis, I've bought a new motor and pick ups for it too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the memsahib kick-starting the coffee maker and I'm setting out the Bench of Bodge. Thank you for the motivation! 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I take it that you have used the sand boxes salvaged from I GWR 0-6-0? I was going to get some white metal ones or take them off a dead Airfix 14XX. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonDCC Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 That’s a superb piece of inspirational modelling you’ve both done there. Very impressed & rather envious of the many skills & necessary dedication needed to bring it together. Simon 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post chuffinghell Posted May 25, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2022 Riveting stuff I think before I get too carried away I'll attempt to 3D print the chassis first, I've based the chassis on the Oxford Rail Toad because I happen to have a Oxford Rail Toad Chassis that I can steal the bits off (buffers, brakes etc) 17 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonDCC Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Hi, please could I ask how you achieved the print? the raw parts looked like resin - is that what you are using? (I did look back but the picture of your printer is still awaiting restore but I see you’ve also used shapeways too) The few pics of shapeways bodies I’ve seen tend to have very fine deposition stratification lines but this odd very crisp! Did it need much cleaning up? Simon (less of an engineer than I’d like to be) Edited May 26, 2022 by SimonDCC 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon (less of an engineer than I’d like to be) Hi Simon It was printed using an Anycubic Photon Mono SLA resin Printer I don't use Shapeways anymore due to their daylight robbery constant unjustified price increases and their extortionate high postage costs since Brexit it was cheaper to buy my own printer You can (and sometimes do) still get visible layer lines but they tend to be less noticeable Chris 1 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
