1/32 16Ton wagon 3D print builds + others

[Brian T]

Hi Guys,

Well hopfully this'll be the start of my 1/32 adventure again after a false start a few years back.

I recently aquired an 04 and then a 3D printed Class 25 plus a couple of 16 tonners from a fellow WT member, the later on a bit of whim...!!

Anyhow,i've decided to make an all be it 'slow' start on the 16 tonners first, so one question first; what adhesives are suitable for the materials that these are made with especialy as i want to add a brass floor to the wagons for weight and stiffness..

Cheers,
Brian.

Hi James,
These are designed and produced by Simon br Blue..
Not sure if there still avalible as these were printed via shapeways.
Here's a thread of an earlier 25/1 he's done.

A bit of an up date,

The Cl.25/3 has been moved on but we have a brass 20 ton brake van and some Fred Phipps vans to build also...well at some point..
Cheers,
Brian.

Work has started on the 3 16 tonner's,

Have added slater brass bearings to the axle boxes and then the floor to the chassis with.020 thou plasticard followed by .064 thou aluminum sheet to the inside for a little extra weight.This will be covered with another .020 thou piece of plasticard.

I was going to do this in brass, but could'nt justifi the extra cost and with the slaters wheel sets there'll be sufficient weight as they'll only be used on a shunty layout.
