Locomotives (steam outline) / Re: GWR Dean Goods
Last post by 753 - Jan 30 2025 12:59The Dean Goods is almost complete just the backhead details to do. The tender is the smaller 2500-gallon version, I built two one for a friend who has a part-built engine, they took a while to do. The model is certainly look the part.

Carriages & NPCS / North by North Western...
Last post by John Candy - Jan 24 2025 18:25Available to download are the STL files to produce the body for the LNWR D216 1st/3rd composite brake coach.
This is a 50ft arc roof corridor coach in a style to match the previous D377 passenger luggage full brake.
https://gauge3.info/3D_print_4_yourself/LNWR/LNWR_D216.zip
Next week will see release of a matching D138 composite, followed by a D268 all third, which will provide all the stock needed for a complete LNWR / LMS corridor train.
Photos show the test print of D216 in primer.

I attach a photo of Pendennis Castle cab with the fall plate lifted to show the hinge fixings (second pic to follow showing larfpger area). Maybe you could fabricate one from brass tube and strip. Or maybe even a section cut out from a larger hinge.
I am working at Didcot on 4th Feb so could take a better picture and/or measure the hinge if I get a chance.

Thank you for the reply but I think that these are too large as well.

Thanks for the tip but, I think that they would be far too big.
