Giles, your Decauville is absolutely gorgeous! Your engineering and modelling skills are truly a sight to behold. I model in 16mm, and I’ve built some of the 3D printed loco kits that are available, but none of my models match the standard of your beautiful little loco’s. I note that there is not a proprietary model of a Decauville currently available in 16mm scale - Accucraft produced a live steam version in 7/8ths scale, but having seen yours, I hope someone might fill this gap. Please keep adding your lovely video’s, I must get around to getting the Wild Swan book that you wrote!

I think I prefer the term hypodeemic nurdles

Good advice and insights Giles. The loco is very nice Giles. 3D printing is a useful tool and you seem to play to the strengths of the various media. The thought of using computers in my railway modelling turns me cold (I know I'm cutting my nose to spite my face by not learning CAD). Do you still go to exhibitions and/or exhibit?

Nice 👍

So elegant

Superb finescale work and detail as always

A true thing of Beauty Giles 😮

Lovely

Beautiful work, Giles.

Pardon me asking, but do you have any plans to release the files used to 3D print this?

Giles are the STL files available for your point motor?

Where are those coaches from? Are they a kit? Id really like to find them

Very nice indeed! Where can i get these? 🙂 Best regards from Odd-André

These are getting to advanced, they'll be blinking next lol

Excellent Giles

That is Wonderful!! ❤

Lovely!

Giles, the locomotive is fantastic, as is the track work - but I was completely unprepared for the animated driver; I had to look twice as I thought it might have been AI. Sorry, I can see it’s all genuine and yet more fantastic work from you!

I love it!

I wire-brush the gears before fitting them, as they need de-burring to make them run smoothly

@gilesengineer may i know how long it can take to release the pressure ones it have reach at 11 o clock how many seconds if you soldering 3mm thick sheet x 8inch diameter? would be glad to understand.

The dinkier the engine the better, have sen models of a Decauville Mallet, would make a nice model in OO9 and 7mm Narrow gauge (14mm and or 16.5mm gauges)

Incredibly interesting stuff. The Jouef Deucaville was my first loco too, many many years ago. Still have a soft spot for it as well. I have been hoping to make a 7 1/4 gauge version eventually. Yours is looking very nice. You're right about the drawings, many out there and few are correct. I hunted down some a few years ago, the seller claimed they were good but upon closer inspection, there were many faults. The garratt will be a fun project to watch progress. I recall the kit you mentioned, I believe you were correct in saying it was a Backwoods model. I recall seeing them but passing them up at the time, given my lack of experience soldering kits at that time. A bit off topic, but I was hoping to ask, what resin printer would you recommend nowdays? I am in the market, the family is looking for Christmas gifts. Your prints always seem to be incredibly high quality. I do believe I remember you making a video or two about printers but I was wondering if you'd made any changes or upgrades to your collection since then. All the best Alan

Could always do a 10 1/4 inch gauge version of the Garratt. As always. Great work.

which motor is this one

NG + JSB = Heaven! Congratulations on a superb job.

I will have one!

well Done 👍

Excellent. Brilliant work

Superb work

Great work as always Giles.

Very nice, and a wonderfully unusual prototype.

Hi Giles, Im a bit late to the party, however Im interested to know if you progressed further with these neat couplings? They look like a nice balance 👍💜😊

Tremendous!!, could we have one without music

Sir.. i would to bless you with knowledge 🙏... In case you didnt know these exit.. i just fond your channel threw an old vid of yours and i have something for you... Google these 3 rc cars... 1. 1/64 scale Turbo Racing, they have cars and haulers.. 2. The 1/64 nez v1.. uts a real deal and prolly way more than what u need or want just thought id let ya know its out there. 3. The Jiabaile 1/43 drift rc... Have a wonderful day my good sir ..😊

Is he 3d printed and if yes where do you get the stls.

More please much more!

Very cool, is it possible to make the arm go side to side instead of up and down. Ive recently started painting table top game figures i think you've just convinced me to switch over seeing is a doing pay any table to games. Thank you for showing this

That's the best so far Giles. The arm is excellent 👍😊💜

Remarkable. Lovely work.

I always thought the small engine driver in "The End of the Line" would have benefitted from turning his head in the direction of travel. 8-)

Was expecting a tragic disassembly with that music!

👏 brawo

I love this, great work! Is this loco a kit from somewhere?

Looks greate Giles. I love it

,Interesting ideas, Looks good. Are you sure that the thickness is 18micros as thats 0.0007"

Hi. There's a Nettlebed near me, any connection?

Well I thought the music was a bit OTT until the drama of the 2nd wagon unloading what a cliff hanger

The music adds a certain drama to the whole thing. Lovely video.

FIRST! Marvelous stuff Giles, just marvelous. How did yiu construct the stone walls, they look really good👍 Are you planning to attend exhibitions with this layout and stock? 🤔🤞🙏😊✌️💜
