Past-Avenue

Hi I will be attending the next train and model fair on the 18th and will have a supply of all the items I'm 3d printing. I've put together a slide show (please see below) of most of the items I'm doing at the moment. Enda Highlight001.mp4

Good morning all. I added a few more items to the items I'm printing . I have 071 brake cylinders 50 cent each/set of 5 electric boxes €6 unpainted / and a phone box €1 each all in oo scale . Pm me if you want anything I'm printing as I do have a stock of everything. Thanks Enda

That's a excellent layout and a credit to you. You have captured so much detail and so realistic

Hi all. I've add 2 more NEM pockets to the ltems I'm printing. Below in the first picture is a NEM pocket that can be screwed up to a chassis and will allow it to swivel if you want to use magnetic couplings or fixed tie bar's etc. The bottom 2 pictures are a NEM pocket to suit the Dapol prestwin chassis to replace the one that comes with the kit . The pocket height gauge is €5 and NEM pockets are €1 a pair . If you would like anything please pm me. Enda

Thanks Noel and you done a fantastic weathering job on the coal and oil wagons.

Hi I've finally finish and have printed of some 10ft Uniload containers. These are now available at €10 or €15 painted and decals with a little Weathering plus postage. Pm for more information etc Regards Enda

Hi I'm currently working on conversions for the old Dapol and Lima boggies and hopefully have them sorted out soon. Thanks Enda

Hi I'm not sure as I don't have any of IRMs chassis but I would be able to resize my wagons to suit if required and help people to achieve what they want for their layout.

Hi all. I've recently designed a NEM pocket height gauge for those who still do scratch building or just want to modifie there rolling stock. The gauge aligns the NEM pocket at the correct height and depth from the buffers and sits snugly over the rails. I also have the NEM pockets aswell in stock. I'm currently working on other types of NEM pockets for the lima boggies etc but not there yet. If you would like anything that I'm printing please pm.l

I'm on it with Enniscortyman at Bray now heading south.

Hi I use alot of IRMs Magnetic Dellner Couplings on my wagons and the 42ft flats. I found that they work great on the Inclines etc. You can see some in the link below. https://youtube.com/@endabyrne3420?si=g6jzJNtCx34pPn6F Enda

Thanks Galteemore and it's opened up a whole new way to model and make items yourself. At the end of the day it's about the enjoyment we get from it and not a competition.

Hi I've finally got these wagons done and I'm printing them now. They were used on the Foynes to Ballina Asahi coal and oil train from the early 70s to late 90s. A variation of the tanker was used as a water barrier on the Ammonia train. Coal body €12 Tanker €15 These sit snugly on the Dapol prestwin chassis witch can be purchased from Marks Models or other model shops. If you would like some of these or any of the other 3D items I'm doing please Pm. Thanks to Noel Enright for all the help in getting the information etc Enda

Hi all .. I have the curtain sided pallet cement wagon in stock now aswell and there's a few more I'm finalizing and will announce them soon. Attached are a few pictures starting with the bare body and the finished wagon with decals. If you require any of the 3D printed items that I make PM please . Thanks Enda Bare wagon body €15

Hi all. I will be bringing my layout Past-Avenue down and I'll also have some of the 3D print items that I am making with me for sale. We will have a little Weathering station available at the show and can have a look and chat etc. Below are the items I'm am currently making. Mark's Models will have the Dapol prestwin chassis that these wagons sit on at the show aswell. Enda

Hi all I've printed the early steel sided cement wagon as in the picture. Again I've drawing them from pictures and videos to get as much detail as I can and that I can print and I'm pleased with the results. These wagons are designed to fit onto the Dapol prestwin chassis without any need for glue etc. I'm producing them and if your looking for some or any of the other 3D items I'm doing please Pm please. Enda Body only weathered €20Bare wagon body €15

Hi all . I've recently started into 3d printing and have made a few small bits that were missing from my models ie...wipers/ horns and tail lights. All of these parts were either unavailable to buy or hard to replace. The tail lamps and warning boards sit onto the lamp irons just like the real thing and can be moved from loco to loco or wagons that have lamp iron details. I pushed myself and attempted to produce the double height beet wagon. I designed it from pictures and videos and to fit onto the Dapol prestwin chassis without any need for glue etc...and had positive feedback that it looked passable with the modelers licence. My idea is that, if you have a rake of prestwin chassis you can change the body's and keep your costs down. I am currently working on other projects that will suit the chassis so they are interchangeable. I have attached some pictures of the stuff that I've made and the costs below. If you would like anything please pm me. Thank Tail lights 50 cent each Warning boards €2 per pair Weathered beet wagon €20 primed beet wagon €15wipers and horns to suit MM 141s/ 071s 50 cent each

Hi Sean. I haven't changed any CVs but I did discover that when F14 and F15 are on the loco will notch up and then down regardless of the speed of the loco witch is a nice feature. Enda

Hi I use IPA and leave it soaking in it for a few hours and with a old toothbrush remove anything that's lose and repeat the process till the surface is free from paint etc. Enda

Hi Jason yes it dose and it needs to be fixed like this if the coupler is attached to the boggie as well to allow movement . Enda

Hi I have started to use the Magnetic Dellner and find that they work great for me . As some of youmay know that my layout has inclines and was not great looking at trains bunch up and then take up the slack. I first used them on my MK3 push pull that I recently finished and they worked once I got rid of the buffer lock. I have fitted them to my pallet cement wagons witch are on a Daplo chassis. I've the IRM Fertiliser and some 42ft flats done but I had a little bit of modification to do to get rid of the buffer lock. All said they have made a great improvement to the appearance and running trains on my layout.

That's looking great and nice to see a station close to me been replicated and looking forward to seeing your progress on this. Good luck with it and most importantly enjoy it. Enda

Great work to all evolved

I would agree with Noel as I was the very same till I took the first step and never looked back. YouTube was my go to for everything and just progressed from there. I would encourage anyone to have a go on something small and inexpensive or old and you'll also get the rewards for achieving it yourself. Don't forget that it's a hobby and not a competition and it's what you get from it is what counts.

That is stunning work and a great result. Enda
