The next 3D Print 4 Yourself releases will be :
D1735 (LOTS 681 and 687 only) Compartment Brake 3rd (a Stanier flush-sided pattern built 1933 to a pre-Stanier 1930 diagram)

D1790 Motor Train (P-P) Driving Trailer Brake 3rd a conversion of early D1735 Brake 3rds (1930 pre-Stanier pattern)

D1921 Compartment Composite (a Stanier flush-sided pattern) some were fitted for "motor train" working, so can be paired with D1790 above.

Currently test printing D1790 and D1921.

D1735 (LOTS 681 and 687) I will not be printing, the files being provided for anyone not wishing to have the additional work of printing and fitting the bolection mouldings to the earlier D1735 LOTS.

A nice looking loco which looks to be well-built.

Thank you.

Not specifically John, just I have a D113 for the same build in the form of an O gauge Sparmac kit and so with that un-started, took the opportunity to do it in G3 instead.

I have a friend at my model club who makes his own transfers and he's having a go at the "pathe cinema car" transfers for the destination boards for me.

Kind regards

Ant

Hi Anthony,
Yes, the same block fits both Fox bogies (hadn't realised it was missing from the GNR zip file)
Slater's part No. 8920 "Loco Frame Bushes for 1/4inch axles" ... listed for Gauge1.
Look forward to seeing the Cinema Coach...are you building a set for "The Flying Scotsman"?!
Regards,
John.

Hi John,

For the GNR 8ft fox bogie, do we use the 8ft bogie blocks from the LSWR fox bogies?

I also need to source some top hat bearings from slaters but not sure on size or part number yet.

I'm doing one of your D113 full brakes but in the condition of when it had been converted to a cinema car.

The files for the body of D1778 are now available at

https://gauge3.info/3D_print_4_yourself/LMS_D1778_PBV/LMS_D1778.zip

The underframe for LMS 50ft vans is almost complete and will follow soon.
 
Last couple of days spent sorting out the changeover from Sky to Vodafone broadband and phone .... I had forgotten what a pain it is to reset all the devices on the network ... a couple are still putting up a fight!

LMS D1778 50ft Passenger Full Brake.

149 vans to this diagram were built between 1925 and 1928 at Wolverton and Newton Heath. They were the first 50ft vans built by the LMS and bodies were panelled timber with matchboard ends, to match the contemporary passenger stock with which they were to be employed.

There were detail variations between LOTS and the example upon which I have based this model was one of the last to be built.

They lasted in service until at least 1968, so would not look out-of-place behind a BR diesel!

The STL files will be added to the 3D_Print_4_Yourself library later this week.
