3D Printed Sidetank loco

That is a very nice result, Richard. The lining and lettering look very good.

About something else to get printed - try a tramway style carriage. I think Tom Bell does a few interesting ones.

thanks Ted, I shall do some investigating!

Give me a week and you can see what my 3D printed one looks like once its done!

I've been doing a little bit more to the loco.

I have given the lining another covering which has made it look more solid.

I have also given it a bit of a weathering.

A basic backhead has been fixed in and I've started painting the cab inside.

It still requires a few more details but is getting there.

To my mind those locos look far too tall.
I have one on which I carefully sliced the complete body from the footplate & then removed 4mm all round from the lower body before sticking it all back with polystyrene cement. Its surprising the diference it made to the overall appearance.  8)
