S2 E40 3D Modelling a Railway Carriage Part 2

[@ausfoodgarden]

Hey James, I for one would like to see a part 3. Cheers!

I'll see what I can do. :) Thanks for watching.

I saw my first 3D printed wagon this week, a South Australian 4 wheeled sheep van by Piping Shrike Models. I was blown away with the detail and incredible truth to the full size vans I used to work with as a stock agent. I dropped $200 on the spot for 4 sets of two. I'm a very happy camper. Yours look really good James. Amazing how 3d printing is improving the hobby. Nothing is out of reach now.

Hello, Thanks for taking the time to put this video together James. I have been listening too, and half-watching, these videos as I work some mk2 coaches in Blender and it's been really interesting to compare your workflow.

Hi James, thank you so very much for taking the time to detail further your 3D build, really appreciated. This 34min episode to some may sound easy, but I'm sure there are hours invested here, and it will definitely stand the test of time. Very best regards

Fascinating, exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m a 3D printer Railway enthusiast.

id like to see part 3 for one, I can also suggest the axle box and spring can be printed as one piece, slid into the w iron and will work as a conformal mechanism if you use 'engineering resin' or similar. ive done this before on some lowmacs I designed and it worked a treat for full working suspension with no extra build effort.

Very impressive 👏

[@BexhillWest]

Thank you so much 😀

Very clever and very effective.

Thank you. Of course having created the 'separate' compartments and ends, I've now got a head-start on the next carriage in that I can recycle the parts. For example, I just need to draw a first-class compartment now in order to produce a composite carriage, and maybe a lavatory compartment, and a brake end. Soon I could have a complete rake. I've draw-up a complete set of Clayton Arc-roofed stock and the complete set didn't take long once the first had been completed. Got to get back to the SE&CR stock though - I'm too easily easily distracted. :) Thanks for watching, James
