N Gauge Scratchbuilt Locomotives: The Origins of Newman Miniatures

In this video we look at some of unique traditionally-made N Gauge model locomotives that would lead to the creation of the 3D-printed ‘Newman Miniatues’ range of models.

These are very impressive scratch builds - if they were in a more traditional scale - to think these are n gauge is incredible. - you deserve more praise in this community

[@newmanminiatures]

That's very kind, thank you.

I love the shot at 2:10

Excelent ❤

[@curtispreston4400]

These are amazing models truly art pieces, where do you get the motors / gears from I've thought about scratch building some of my own but am having trouble finding suitable gears and motors.

[@newmanminiatures]

Thanks. I usually use rtr chassis when motorising - either choosing a suitable prototype or more commonly fitting in a coach or van to give the illusion of power.

[@PHsRailwayVideos]

Honestly, I'd be astounded if they were in 0 gauge. To think they are in N is unbelievable - you even motorized them!

[@newmanminiatures]

Thanks. Many are free-rolling with powered coaches/vans, but a few do indeed have a motor in them somewhere!

@@newmanminiatures Hello good night A question, I can buy some of their locomotives? They are wonderful

[@newmanminiatures]

@@dr.robertojauregui2069 Hi; thanks. These particular models are just for demonstration, but many kits can be found at www.shapeways.com/shops/newman-miniatures

If you started selling Aveling & Porters with working flywheels and cranks, as 3d Printed Scratch Aids, I'd buy one faster then you can say 'Shapeways.'

[@newmanminiatures]

Working flywheel might be a bit much for 3D (at this stage at least!), but an Aveling engine is certainly on the cards...

[@warriorstar2517]

Are there any models in this video that you, as the creator, wish you could improve on in any way?

[@newmanminiatures]

There's always room for improvement and learnng new skills!

[@ANobodyatall]

Is NBR 224 'The Diver' still on sale?

[@newmanminiatures]

These particular models are traditionally-made one-offs, presented just to show the background to my current 3D items. No. 224 has yet to be developed for 3D printing, but if there is enough demand I can look into this.

[@ANobodyatall]

@@newmanminiatures Thanks for getting back to me. Great selection to choose from on your site.

[@newmanminiatures]

Thank you. :)
