Yes that is true. But also fud is not so important in 1/24 scale or bigger, since details gets big enough anyway, so it is a double win.

Thanks Peter,

great fun to make them to.

I have one more loco to make, then I will order both two locos above and show you the "real deal" ..

Today I did this little freelance diesel loco, I call it the :: Vikfors diesel loco. Available in 1/45, 1/35 and 1/24 scale. Made to fit the Piko 47305 TT loco (if you choose 0 scale..). If you fancy one, make sure you select both scale AND material before you order! Henrik http://laurell.today/2017...

Today I did finish this little freelance battery electric, I call it the Vikholm Battery Electric Available in 1/45, 1/35 and 1/24 scale. Any similarity to anything similar is pure coincidence .. :) Cab is a loose piece, could either be glued on or taken of as a "winter equipment" when wea...

First out is this O&K kit which is all the parts you need to make a little steamer on a HO steam loco, like the MagicTrain or any other. Available in 1/45, 1/35 and 1/24 scale. If you fancy one, make sure you selected both scale AND material before you order! Henrik http://laurell.today/2017/08/...

This last April (2017) I was working on my Atlas mine wagon in styrene. I had done several versions and was not content with what I got. Same when I tried to make more wagons of the "best" version I managed to do, which got me thinking about 3D modelling. Previously I have been lucky to ha...

Here are two steam loco ladies: http://www.fgb-galerie.de/details.php?image_id=8533 Made from whitemetal and readily painted. Bring some weight and humour to your little Gn15 steamers. Don't let those girls anywhere near a steam loco, much less the fireman's side of a double Fairlie. The Earl of Me...

That looks great. What operating system does your 123d designer work in? I've tried the iPad version and was impressed. The Autocad website says they aren't developing 123d designer, but it and some of their other software will be replaced by something new. I'm wondering if there will be a subscrip...

Well maybe, but it does what it should so not much need for updates ..

Henrik

I have just about 10 days (evenings) with the free Autocad 123d Designer program and it is great! I did know absolutely nothing to start with and yesterday I come to this level on my new Atlas wagons. It is not only easy to use, there is also loads of clips on youtube which describes all the functio...

Looks great !!

Henrik

Me'sa like it, a lot !!

Henrik

Haven't been on the gnatterbox for a while. "Crazy Hank" just tipped me about this thread.

Another year passed since last update on the blog...

Ian, or anyone - any progress since last time ?

Henrik

Great weathering on the tipper!

About the loco, I vote for the center-cab version.

Henrik

Which motor chassis did you had in mind for this ?

Henrik

That was a rather big one! I was hoping for the smaller 0-4-4-0 mallet from 1889 event in Paris.

Henrik

Hi i am here.

Just low on mojo at the moment so I started a major cleanup in my cave instead, until it returns.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Henrik

Could you show a picture please, so we can see better which version you are referring to.

Henrik

Looking closer at the 1/24 scale versions they seem to be made for 19mm track and correctly so. If that is the case no need to remake them for HO tracks. But please make the 1/32 scale versions available in FUD, it's only a setting in Shapeways site.

Henrik

Looking great !!

Henrik

Hi Simon, First, must commend you on a fantastic collection of drawings at Shapeways..! Second, I would like to order a pair each of the :: * A-1-24-wagon-d-class-bogie-1a * A-1-24-pechot-bogie-1a * A-1-32-bogie2ax-1a * Plus the 1/32 scale version of the D-class bogie (can't find it on shapeways) fo...

Put on black around the frame and end beams. Bogies in place, couplers installed. New proper roof made and painted. Lettering - not so much ... No problem cutting them, the Curio machine could have made them even smaller. The problem is to let the letters out without damaging the sheet so you get a ...

Put on paint the other day.

Next is a proper roof and lettering to make it finished!
