hi guys,
I, Hedzer Durksz, have been a member of the 009 Society for appox a year know, but never posted on the forum. So it's about time to show my stuff.
verry short about me.
A couple of years ago i was introduced to narrow gauge railroads (in Switserland, the Dampfbahn Furka-Bergstrecke) and was hooked.
Since I wanted to try out the 3d printing technology, i set out creating my own narrow gauge models. H0e was the perfect scale for it, small (and therefore cheap to print) and a detailling level that could be just about be printed back then.
The modelmaking was accelerated by my visit to Wales (and several of its beautiful narrow gauge railroads) a year ago. Here I found myself at a tiny modelrailroad exibition in Corris talking to Ed Florey and Rod Allrock. The creators of the amazing Corris 1930 layout. Rod showed my his nicely running locos he build him self(and shared some tricks on how to make them run just perfect). He also convinced my to join the 009 Society.
In the last year i perfected a model that runs ok. It is partly 3d printed, partly etched.
Ive showed it at a meeting of the Dutch 009 group, they liked it ;D even though it is H0e and not 009(sorry)
You may even recognize it from the 009 NEWS of june this year. (I've painted it since then)
This is the loco I am talking about.

It is an model of the Deutz OMZ 122.
Only the drive frame has been etched, all other parts have been printed (including the cranks can drive rod).
by the way the tipper car behind the loco are purchaced here: http://www.shapeways.com/model/592518/h0e-spoorijzer-kw13-1m3-skips-5.html (http://www.shapeways.com/model/592518/h0e-spoorijzer-kw13-1m3-skips-5.html).
To ad a workable hook (compatible with the roco tippers) they need to be modified a bit.
A very attractive and very well made, I find its amazing what 3d printers can do now having developed in such a short time.
Hello Hedzer
Welcome on the forum. And nice photos of your Deutz and skips! Is that a model railway it runs on?
Will you bring the Deutz to the Valkenburg show next month so we can run it on my demo layout?
By the way, the Society also caters for H0e modellers, so there's no problem about that!
Best wishes
Ted
I will take some stuff to the Valkenburg show.
The background is my modelrailway or a better word for it: testtrack.
It has not been finished yet, building loco's and wagons has my main interest.
Welcome to the forum, Hedzer.
Nice to see a photo of your loco painted, it looks great.
May I suggest joining NGRM online and posting it there also, it will generate more interest for you to hopefully sell a few more.

Hello Hedzer
Great to see your Deutz. I want one! I remember meeting you at Corris last year, we are back there again next weekend. Also, Corris is going to Valkenburg in September so we should see you there. Keep up the good work. If you are interested, last week I made a Kerr Stuart Wren in 009 which should also be at Valkenburg. Hopefully there will be a picture in the next 009 News as Mick Thornton took several today at the West Midlands show. I hope you think 009 Society membership is worthwhile.

Hi
Love the loco, has real character. Keep up the good work.
John W ;D
Can you maybe post a picture of the inside of the loco? I'm curious to see how you've done the mechanics.
As requested, the inside of the loco:

The drivetrain consists of a 8mm motor, a beltdrive with printed pullys (approx 1:4,5 reduction) and a wormgear driving each axle (1:10 reduction)
The white boxes you see are the wormgearreduction (gear module 0.2)
just because I can a 3d crossection:

Rod, see you at valkenburg next september!
Hedzer
Excellent work!
I am intrigued by the worm reduction units. Are they a commercial item or hand made? If commercial, who makes them please?
Nice and low mounted motor! Looks like a home made product, so where does the motor come from? I still need to replace my Minitrix Glaskasten motor by a smaller motor to fit in an 1 cm boiler. That one seems a good option.
Nice work, Hedzer. I remember you brought two of these locos to the Dutch Group meeting last Spring. I didn't guess you made the pulleys yourself using 3D printing. It's the same kind of drive used by Nigel Lawton. Do you use some of Nigel's components? Looking forward to seeing you at Valkenburg.
The motor and belt are from Nigel.

A couple of post back you guys saw my Deutz OMZ 122 with a couple of curious skips.
These skips, made by Rick Mulder, are now available with couplings to couple with Roco and Eggerbahn!!!! (they did not have this before)
Available at Shapeways http://shpws.me/lKCp

They look really nice, just like the real thing.

after a long time of no modeltrains for me:-(.
I've been buzzy building my own 3d printer that is capable of printing in such a resolution that i can print 009 loco's. and finaly i succeeded.
It's a fluid based system that cures the fluid by exposing it to light (near UV) better known as a DLP 3d printer. A type of printer you will see more in the near future i hope.
more info about this printer can be found on the forum :www.buildyourownsla.com/forum/ (http://www.buildyourownsla.com/forum/)

I'm comming pretty dam close to the professionals :-)
Not a bad result compared to the commercial print, Hedzer. I remember we were in touch about your printer some time ago. So you finally developed it to a working stage, well done!
Impressive quality for a home printer.
