Does anybody know if E428 was in working order when it arrived at Dunsandle? Pics on the website of inside the cab looked like it was in good condition inside at least

Thanks for the link for Autodesk 123D there John. I used Autodesk CAD in school & colledge, but that was a long time ago, and I haven't used it since.

Nice that it's a free download too.

Good idea trying out getting a 3D model together & getting it made by Shapeways first too btw!

While getting the 3D model ready for the printer would take time, once you had it done, you could churn out the copies. Plus, the design is always there for whenever you need more.

Buying direct from the US would probably be the way to go, and I reckon the support option for $350 would be a wise addition. Material price seems to be very reasonable, as I would imagine a kilo would make a lot of model railway items!

As for highend printers that can do down to 20micron layers - I reckon you could throw an extra 2 or 3 zeros onto the end of the price tag for one of them printers!

Just tried it there myself, and I get the same as snapper - a row of page buttons above the top post on the page.

I'm using the default browser on a HTC Wildfire

New model of 3D printer, the Replicator2, prints using 100 micron layers (0.1mm) - giving a much smoother finish than previously capable.

Priced at $2100 - probably means it'd be the same price in Euros.

Is the pope catholic?

or 'was the pope in the Hitler Youth?' as I like to say!

I have to say, the job done on the 071 is another top notch job - like they say with Pokemon - 'gotta catch em all!'

I have all three dvds - Railfreight Today is amazing, and Loco Hauled is cool too. New Horizons is definetely the weakest of the three, with mixed up footage representing the one 'train' - starts off with a 201 hauled MK3 set, then jumps to an 071 hauled MK2 set, then back again. There is a short clip of the Enterprise hauled by a blue 201 though!

Railfreight Today will bring tears to your eyes when you see the freight traffic that is now long gone

Hi all,

Just posting up a link to a thread of pictures of motorbikes & trains together in the one shot. Mostly US/Canadian, but some European shots too:

Don't know if you have seen this article on New Irish Lines website:

Hope this helps!

theres this on now..

wouldnt buy it to save my life but i bet some here might!

Saw that today alright - can't see the attraction in them either. I have one in the attic from back in the day

Great looking site! Got it added to my bookmarks now.

When I've cash to spare...

One of the recent Model Rail magazines covered a material to use for tarpaulin - I'll look it up for you when I get home

I heard on the radio that the price they paid for the contract means that they will have to grow the business by 10% each year for the next ten years - doesn't sound even remotely possible to me. I wouldn't like to be a commuter on the WCML - as I reckon fare increases are definetely on the cards

Have to say I'll be even more excited when the 121's are announced & we get the pre-production shots - that's not to say I don't absolutely love the 071!

You could always reduce the size and/or quality of the shots in the camera settings before taking the pics you want to upload - this will result in a smaller filesize. Experiment with all the various size/quality settings & you should be able to get a pic under the 2Mb limit

Totally stunning!

Really nice the way the IE window frames & marker lights are modelled - just like the real thing!

Going to have to get me one of these, along with the other two!!

Might be a plan my version is only half size at nearly half a meter and I reckon I'll easily forget what's down the back

You could always have a small whiteboard with the various roads on it & then you could mark on it the position/road of the various locos on shed

I like the idea of a 6-pack!

Great looking wagon

Savage! Looks so much better with the large gap plugged up & the hoses fitted

If I caught em, they'd get the remaining contents of their spray cans emptied into their eyes & down their throats - waste of skin that they are

Dirt bags!

Hopefully it'll be able to be removed easily enough with chemicals & not leave a trace, and not require a repaint

You've really captured the look of the filthy & worn Baby GM there! Fantastic job!

Savage weathering on 185 & 189 - love it!

3-1 does this mean Ireland are now out of the tournament all we need is England to do the same and we can all get back to normal. God I hate football

Nah, if we beat Spain & Italy we can still go through!

The two kids on skateboards going on their ear is class!
