Nearly ready : LMS Standard 57ft Non-Corridor Stock

[John Candy]

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.

The riveted LMS bogie was fitted to most diagrams of "standard" LMS carriages and is suitable for the D1778 PBV, D1735 brake 3rd, D1790 driving trailer and D1921 composite, all available in the 3D Print 4 Yourself range.

It joins the LMS 9ft welded bogie (fitted to later LOTS of some Stanier-era vehicles) which has been in the Monobloc range for a year or so.

Apart from the lack of rivets, the main difference being that the riveted bogie has 4ft 6ins springs, whereas the welded version has 5ft springs.
