3D Printed Locomotives. Body Shells on Cheap Kato 109 chassis. OO9 Narrow Gauge Model Railways.

A few of the 3D printed loco bodies I have purchased recently. Some real bargains and amazing quality out there now!
Locos use the Kato N gauge chassis.
All seen running on Deffro Dawel, my OO9 layout. Plus some kit locos.
Cheap railway modelling

Very interesting, you inspired me to add to my 009 loco collection and also get one of those brake vans

[@Elvinley]

Excellent!

Enjoy the smaller stuff as much as the 7.25”. I’ve used the Kato 109s on my HO scale steel mill themed railroad Intra mill narrow gauge (HOn30) Nice little mechanisms.

[@Elvinley]

Excellent! Yes they are brilliant and always work well. Not had a bad one yet.

The Billard T75G Locotracteur is a cool locomotive. I based one of My Thomas & Friends OC's off of it. It's the first locomotive showcased in the video, and I like it.

[@Elvinley]

Yes I'm fond of that one!

[@attuslebeard5133]

Thanks for sharing this - I'd been wondering how good these kits were and it's prompted me to get a few.

[@Elvinley]

Oh that's great! They are so easy to use and need little to no prep.

[@LeoStarrenburg]

Very nice loco's and vans ! Could you give us a few tips on how you treated the 3D surface, I tend to end up with rather coarse surfaces on my On30 shells from Shapeways. I've done a bit of 7¼" work in the past, must be over 40 years ago when I collected my set of Tinkerbell castings from Roger Marsh in Hinckley. Nowadays On30 is big enough for me.

[@Elvinley]

To be honest I don't do much. With resin prints there is very little left to do if they are good quality. Sometimes a bit of light sanding on the roof to get rid of steps and that's about it. Thanks for your comments!

Thanks a lot!

The Camp Coffee sign reminded me of my Grandad as he used to drink it. You don’t sound great at all, I hope you get better soon.

[@Elvinley]

Thanks mate! Apparently Camp was an acquired taste.

[@gordanmilne7034]

It's still out there, quite an interesting history to it. Great video.

[@Elvinley]
