I do like a tank engine, here is the latest to add to the collection a Stroudley LBSCR D1, which is a larger version of a Terrier.

Whilst 3D printing is useful for more complex shapes and multiples, it is satisfying to use traditional ways to build locos. The engine was built using a CNC milling machine, the wheels were cut from 8mmm ali plate, frames 1.5mm steel and brass for the body. Powered by a home brewed motor /gearbox with nylon bevel gears.

The D1 has emerged from the paint shop and looking rather splendid.

A lovely model ... deserves to be put in a glass cabinet .... too good to risk running!!

Almost (not quite) could convert me to modelling the LBSC!

My fellow Members, ask not what your Society can do for you, ask what you can do for your Society.
