Model Building Nn3 2-6-0 Part 3

[@berto7621]

Great work. The work and the model deserves a sound decoder.

[@DanielCortopassi]

I'll have to see. The tender I am using is tiny. I'm actually trying to see if I can fit a capacitor in there since the electrical pickup on these things seems a little sketchy. If I have to choose between good operation and sound, then it'll be operation. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!

wow so tiny and intricate.... good luck thanks for sharing

[@DanielCortopassi]

Thanks for watching!

Very nice Dan.

[@DanielCortopassi]

Thanks so much!

[@Alerrecks]

Looking great!

very nice work am enjoying the series have built a number of Nn3 engines but larger wheel base like the size of this I have fast tracks jigs and have built dual gauge turnouts all are working, found it interesting to see your approach to building them

[@DanielCortopassi]

Thanks! Now that I have the layout partly operating I need to get back to working on this locomotive. The turnouts are definitely challenging because there are so many parts and the small size. As I'm writing this I still need to build a few more of them. Thanks for watching!

I am on You tube and facebook

[@halfofacouch2397]

That’s so crazy. I never knew that N scale had a narrow gauge like HOn30 or On30. Awesome, and great engine looks great too.

[@DanielCortopassi]

Nn3 has been kind of a tiny niche for a long time. I've wanted to do something in it for a really long time, but this is the first serious effort I've made in quite a while. I am looking forward to getting this thing running. It's going to be the main power for the narrow gauge portion of our N scale Siren Creek layout that's being built at the same time. If you haven't already seen it I have videos about the layout construction here on the channel, too. Thanks for watching!

I would love to see the end result, very informative video's, thank you

[@DanielCortopassi]

I'm hoping to get back to this soon. I put it aside for a while so I could focus on working on the N/Nn3 layout where it will run. Thanks for watching!

Great job 🚂🏆

[@DanielCortopassi]

Thanks!

[@davebnsfnscale4433]

Looks great!

[@DanielCortopassi]

Thanks for watching!

[@struck2soon]

Damn. I was really hoping that coupler was going to come out at the wrong height...I was looking forward to deducting 5 points!

[@DanielCortopassi]

Haha... When I build something like this I make sure that it comes out at the right height. Thanks for watching!

[@NicksCollectableCreations]

I don't envy you working on such small parts. I will one day buy a resin 3D printer, so knowing the fragility of the prints is helpful.

[@DanielCortopassi]

This one is pretty tiny. These parts are from Shapeways so I'm not sure how the material would compare to a home 3D printer. There's definitely a bit of a learning curve though. Thanks for watching!

[@needs2quit1atgmail87]

Ok you got me hooked...what happens next???

[@DanielCortopassi]

I need to permanently attach the cab and add some more details to the locomotive. I also need to work on the tender and devise a way to hook it up with the engine. I'm not sure which one of those I'll tackle in the next episode. Thanks for watching!

[@needs2quit1atgmail87]

@@DanielCortopassi im intrigued. Thank you bro. I follow yous guys and i say your doing it like a pro!!

[@joelsalmons5627]

Try using CA glue to saturate the Shapeways 3D print. The printed material is porous and the CA fills the material and minimizes breakage.

[@DanielCortopassi]

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that.

[@SGTGhost]

Nice

[@DanielCortopassi]

Thanks!

[@multicolorfilms]

Hello Mr. Dan! What camera do you use?

[@DanielCortopassi]

For video I mostly use a Canon XA35. Sometimes I also use my iPhone. For stills it's usually my Nikon D7100. Thanks for watching!

[@multicolorfilms]

@@DanielCortopassi Thank you for the info! Really enjoy your non-biased reviews! Looks like I'm saving up some money for a ScaleTrains now!!!

[@holgertischner8523]

Nice steamloc .👍

[@DanielCortopassi]

Thanks!

[@Steamer96]

What are you gonna do for cylinder pipes?

[@DanielCortopassi]

I'm not entirely sure yet. I am going to do more detailing on the locomotive now that all the basic stuff is there. Thanks for watching!
