Kirley Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) The 3D body is made by Richard EH of this Site and is sold through Shapeways site: https://www.shapeways.com/product/322AX6GR7/4mm-scale-gnri-jt-tank-body-shell-16-5mm-gauge?optionId=8347275 Richard has already displayed his own build of this model on this Site. Anyone who has visited the Transport Museum at Cultra will have seen this preserved locomotive and it is nice to reproduce it in model form. I made a short video of the model in action, see Layout Section -Kirley Junction. Edited June 8, 2016 by Kirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayner Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Nice model. Your a fast worker.Looks just right pulling those wagons. Need to be careful in the Golden Years of the GNR Mac Arnold had a tale of a German POW becoming mighty upset when he saw a dainty looking JT passing Tanderagee on a goods train. The POW a railway man expected something with 6 or 8 coupled wheels. The combination of plasticard overlays with the nylon 3d body seems to be a good idea. Kieran did you use Mekpak or superglue to stick the overlays to the body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran did you use Mekpak or superglue to stick the overlays to the body? It's not my idea John, the innovator is Richard EH. Not sure what he used but I tried Revell Contacta Liquid Special, mainly as I had it on hand and it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslie10646 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Well done Kieran. Looks very nice. How many wagons will she pull? Nice wagons, by the way - oops, I shouldn't have said that, should I? Leslie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard EH Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Nice one Kieran! We've chatted as you've gone along and I think you've made a cracking job of it... it's only the fourth one in captivity, so to speak. At some point over next few weeks I'll update the shapeways page with the details of which chimney/dome/wheels etc to buy to go with it/.. but as you'll see from my brake van thread, I'm generally otherwise engaged at present..... Cheers for now Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
