After viewing this video on the NMRA September 2024 Digital Turntable Magazine, I copied down Eddie King's email address and wrote to him about the possibility of purchasing several of the items featured in the video (DMU Pacer, Engine Shed, Bulldozers, etc.). Since it was advertised that all proceeds would be given to a local charity (Air Ambulance), I thought that the quality of these items were really good and the maker of these products was sincere of his work. I thought that I might get a reply somewhat quick but after a week, nothing. I am wondering if this video presenter (Woody) was really sincere in advertising "3D Printing For Charity"? And why advertise on the Turntable Newsletter? Did Woody not expect viewers to comment or attempt to contact about the products? I still would like to obtain several of the products featured. I don't have a 3D printer or the knowledge of how to make 3D items. I believe the costs would be more to me that just making a purchase of the items from Eddie King. I am open to suggestions...

Hello John, Thank you for your comment and I appreciate the points you raise. Firstly I have to say that I don't have any connection to Eddie other than being a very satisfied customer when I have bought items from him at shows and pleased to support his charitable work. Secondly I know nothing of the inclusion of my video in the NMRA magazine and I therefore don't know the context around how the video is presented in that publication. Nobody contacted me regarding inclusion and certainly have not had any correspondance about advertising. Thirdly my video was highlighting what was available generally from 3D makers that the mainstream manufacturers don't seem to produce. I did say both at the start and end that there are a number of 3D print makers about and to check out the web and shows for their products. I just happened to have Eddie's products as an example to show the type of things available. I believe that Eddie does his charity work in his spare time and therefore it may take some time for him to respond. I have not been to any shows in the last few months so I do not know if his personal circumstances may also have changed during that period since I made the video. Like yourself I don't have the knowledge of 3D printing or indeed a printer so I rely upon suppliers of the products. Although never having used either of them the Shapeways website www.shapeways.com/shops/david-s-railway-bits (although I could not get on there at the time of writing this reply to check) I believe has the Pacer and the Yeggi website at www.yeggi.com/q/009+scale/ has most of the items that were in the video including the Pacer and engine shed. I understand with Yeggi that you buy the 3D file and then upload it to Craftcloud3D where you can choose a manufacturer to print the item(s) and then send them to you. I hope that the above is of use. Regards, Woody

Hi Patrick, Many thanks for your comment and a great question. From my understanding a DCC decoder will usually get very hot if it is failing in some way and that is usually a sign of a wiring issue or that the motor is pulling more amps than the decoder is designed for. I have had it happen to me when trying to put a Hornby TTS decoder into one of the old Hornby HSTs. The TTS decoder was, from my understanding following later research, designed to run at 0.5amp with a peak of 1amp whereas the old Ringfield motor was drawing 1amp or over. Whilst the decoder showed that it was unhappy by running slightly hot it never got to the stage of being that hot that it melted the body shell and I came up with another solution fairly quickly of which there is a video on my channel about. The Britannia has a Lias decoder fitted that is rated for 1amp continuous and a 2amp peak which means it is happy running with the Ringfield motor and whilst it gets warm it does not get hot or to the point of melting plastic. Whilst it may seem that one DCC chip is like another there are things to look out for in matching a chip to a particular motor in a loco. From my experience most locos will run happily with a chip rated at 1amp and 2amp peak. There is always going to be an exception to that and no doubt there is a video on KZbin disproving my experience! Woody

Hi Woody, For some reason due to the KZbin algorithms this video popped up in my feed, well I have to say I just watched this and thought I was in a time warp! It's 2024 not 1964 buddy, you seem to have been passed by of the fact that us modellers can now buy things such as Tamiya slim jaw precision modelling nippers 74123 or even better single blade nippers by DSPIAE or even the expensive ones like God Hand's. These remove small parts from the sprue with '0 Ping' they truly are the carpet monsters archenemy!....... TBH I don't know of any modeller who still uses a craft knife to remove parts from the sprue! Do yourself a favour and shell out £30 on a pair of DSPIAE ST-A 3.0 Single blade nippers and you will be amazed and I can assure you will never get a craft knife near a sprue ever again! You can then update this video with something that will really make a difference when dealing with small parts!

Whether that will change in the future I don't know but I can fully appreciate the practicalities of visiting the UK to buy some 3D prints is somewhat doubtful. Not sure if you are all ready familiar with Shapeways, but a number of other suppliers offering 3D prints do operate from that platform and they do appear to ship all over the World. Have a look at www.shapeways.com/marketplace/miniatures/trains?q=model+trains and with the search engine you should be able to find items of interest. Hope that is of use and if you ever have the opportunity to visit the UK take some time to have a look at some of the many preserved and heritage railways that are operating. Woody

I was about to order some of these but your "3 volt motor" comment had me thinking twice. It is actually hard to find a definitive spec sheet online, but there's a couple of 'strip-down' sites, which state 12V coreless'. It would seem odd, to supply a chassis intended to run on N gauge (12V) which uses a 3V motor...

Hello Andy, Thanks for your comment. At the time I started using the Kato chassis it had been upgraded. From what I understand, the earlier chassis were 3v motors with an external resistor. The upgraded chassis does not have that external resistor which means either the resistor is inside the motor or the motor Kato now use is a 12v one. Trying to find the answer has so far proved elusive and if you search on line there are differing views. The bottom line is that the motor runs (whether it is a 3v motor with a resistor or a pure 12v motor) on 12v and will run on DCC. As a chassis they are good value but putting a chip in does mean having to alter CV values to get slow running. I certainly would not wish to put anyone off using them. Hope that is of use . Woody

​@@woodysmodellingdiary Thanks for the reply. I did order four of the 109 chassis, along with some 009 body kits. I already owned a Kato Eurostar, which runs brilliantly, so expected similar performance. Tried 5 different DC controllers (4 Hornby plus my usual PWM jobbie) and the 109's ran horribly with all of them. However, they managed to run flawlessly with the Bachmann '5' box (as included with their sets) good linearity, from crawl to max. They also seems to like the expensive Gaugemaster offerings, at our local club :)

Hi Andy, Thanks for letting me know how you got on and your experiences are very interesting. It is strange how different motors characteristics can change with different controllers and it is not always the expensive controllers that can provide the solution as you found with the Bachmann 5. I had to get a controller for a friends sons layout and was recommended the Bachmann one by a model shop as the best controller for overall performance at a reasonable price. From what I understand it is still being used several years later. My DCC chipped Kato chassis run well with the Bachmann EZ Command controller as well. I do have a liking for Gaugemaster DC controllers though and the Combi, for the price has been a great controller for my DC locos. Woody

@woodysmodellingdiary 4 ай бұрын
Hi Andy, Many thanks for your comment and interesting to hear you are working with 3D bodies as well. The Kato chassis doesn't have any DCC instructions but it is fairly easy to chip the 109 chassis once you figure out how to get the top plate off. If you look at either end of the chassis there are two triangular looking prongs which are part of the two halves of the metal chassis and in effect hook over the plastic top plate. There is no easy way to do it that I have found but basically if you lever the plastic chassis to one side and can release one of the prongs the others will follow. Once the plate is off the motor is exposed along with two brass strip pick ups that fit either side of the two piece chassis and have wires straight to the motor. I unsoldered the pickups and threaded the wires from a DCC chip that I had cut the plug off through the plastic top plate and then soldered them to the pick ups. The wires from the motor went to the grey and orange chip wires. You need to be careful threading the wires through the plastic plate when you clip it back together but there is room. Putting a chip into the chassis does mean that you have to play around with CVs - 2, 3 5 and 6 and it probably still is not as slow running as on DC but I am now considering experimenting with a resistor despite my initial hesitancy. My first video on a 3D print and Kato chassis has a bit more on the running matters and is available at kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJu9d5WbjKutg9Esi=5yFBx-iNwnjmm4OL and there are some more details on my blog at woodysmodelingdiary.blogspot.com/2023/11/sunday-chip.html which has some photos of the process. Hope that is of use. Woody

Harry Houdini, an Aussie plastic kit modeller and KZbinr had a rant recently that the 3D "industry" is killing the hobby. I fail to see how. Your 10 minutes showed that rather than killing the hobby it has liberated us from the ransom of taking what the "big boys" give us at big bucks to being able to make or buy 3D prints of exactly what we want at very reasonable cost. I purchased some SAR 4 wheel sheep vans the other day - two to a pack and $50 Aussie dollars a pack. What did I get - two units each with a custom floor and underframe (fully detailed) a body and roof print of unbelievable clarity, wheels, weights and shunter's steps.

Hello David, Many thanks for your comment. As you say 3D printing is offering alternatives at, in most cases, affordable prices and in many cases of items that the main manufacturers will never offer for commercial reasons. 3D printing is, I think, in its early evolution but I can foresee the time when most households will have a printer that will print some internet orders for that instant delivery! I was somewhat taken aback a few weeks ago by what can be 3D printed when some promotional pictures were being taken at the Museum I volunteer at of a bike with a 3D printed titanium frame! woodysmodelingdiary.blogspot.com/2024/05/3d-printed-titanium-bike-frame.html I did have a look at Piping Shrike Models and I really shouldn't have!

Hello James, The Kato chassis is a good runner and if you are not going down the DCC route it is simply take it out of the packaging and put it on the track. The resin bodies I have used have all fitted the chassis easily. Most are designed around the 11-109 chassis but there are some bodies designed to fit other Kato chassis so always worth asking the question. One body just needed a little plastic sanding off. In general you don't need to fasten them in but if necessary a small blob of bluetac or similar will do the job. Two other point, just make sure the body has couplers. On 009 locos these are usually just the pin sticking up which allows the 009 hook on wagons to hook onto. The second thing to look at is just to make sure you are happy that the body does not need too much cleaning up with the print lines. Other than that these bodies with the Kato chassis are about the easiest way to get a cheap 009 loco. Hope that helps? Woody

Hi and thank you for subscribing. In the UK there were some roundhouses for locos but not many. They were mostly full roundhouses rather than half. There are some links on this Wikipage to UK roundhouses - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Railway_roundhouses_in_the_United_Kingdom The National Railway Museum at York has a building based on the concept of a roundhouse but there is also a surviving roundhouse at Barrow which has been preserved www.barrowhill.org/ Although there may not have been many roundhouses in the UK we did have the oldest in this country opened in 1837 and built by Robert Stevenson and recently rediscovered during works for HS2 - mediacentre.hs2.org.uk/news/hs2-uncovers-worlds-oldest-railway-roundhouse-at-curzon-street-archaeological-site For your model railway a half roundhouse around the turntable would look good and whilst not common in the UK certainly would not be unprototypical. I hope that gives you the answer to your question? I also hope that you continue to enjoy modelling UK railways and hope that some of my videos are of use to you. Regards, Woody

Mounting card? Is that Matte board used for framing?

@woodysmodellingdiary 5 ай бұрын
Hello Charlie, I believe that Mat board and mounting board are the same thing. I get 2mm thick mounting board as a large sheet from The Range which is a UK store similar to Target and they have a comprehensive art and craft section which can be a useful source of glues and paints as well at very reasonable prices. No doubt you have other similar stores as well. Regards, Woody

Glad I found your channel as I am presently trying to build another bridge as a scenic break and it would be similar to yours. I have the Peco Girder which I have weathered and might fabricate another section to bridge the gap. I will take a few ideas from what you are showing. Earlier I created another road bridge based on what Tony northeastern built and I am pretty happy with that. Cheers

My husband's been there and done it he was a shunter at British steel corby Northamptonshire and they used all three types of couplings screw three link and instanter hard work in those days,😊 correct me if I'm wrong but preserved railways are not aloud to use shunting polls,

Hi, I have the greatest respect for anyone doing shunting work and no doubt your husband has some interesting stories about what went on. Shunting poles and preserved railways? A very interesting question and I can understand that in certain situations you would not want a shunters pole sticking out over a main line with passing trains. I cannot answer for all railways but in the case of Rocks By Rail the operating practices are approved by an external examiner. As the shunting is done when all trains are stationary, in two dead end sidings with no other passing track or trains and with no overhead power lines present any risk is very minimal - you just need to have the skill to use it which is something your husband has and I am still trying to get! Regards, Woody

@@woodysmodellingdiary hy I'm jack Jo's other half ,the ex shunter BSC Corby just a couple of tips for you 1 never try pinning down the brakes with the hooked end all was use the other end 2 never try lifting the coupling from a hanging position all get a good swing of the coupling going, 3 if you need to go between the wagons to couple up ALLWAYS make sure the loco driver sees you signal for going between the wagons your shunt signals when sending a train away do circular signals the driver can see buffer up signal arm's above your head and to and throw touch your clenched fists, that's how my instructor bob Eliot trained me if don't feel sure in what your doing, let your driver know, it's always best to be conscious if your doing shunting be safe and ALLWAYS think twice before you do the shunt, work out what your going to do and tell your driver, do that and you will be safe I hope this helps you. Jack BEST of luck 🤞,

Hi and many thanks for your comment. If you ever have the opportunity come along to the Museum on one of its quarry days. I'm sure you would enjoy it. There are three Sentinels and they did run as a trio last year at one event which was quite a sight. There is a short video of that in my collection. I have the greatest admiration for your dad! I only do shunting a few hours each month but it certainly lets me know afterwards! To do it 12 hours a day you had to be ultra fit. Woody
