roxyguy Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Hi All, Would anyone be interested if I was to make one of these available through shapeways as a 3d printed model??? Have often thought about doing one. Obviously it would be body only. Chassis, glazing and extra detailing would be left to your own devices. Quote
roxyguy Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 I have the decals for it..... Great, I'm getting excited. Big ask here - has anyone drawings??? Quote
Killucan2 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 The body is easy,it's the rest that cause's the headache and in 3D print it could be rough. Quote
Broithe Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Great, I'm getting excited. Big ask here - has anyone drawings??? Side view here that you could scale - 60' over the buffers. http://www.bulleidlocos.org.uk/images/bulleid/hsp/cc1drwg_w4.gif Quote

[ATTACH=CONFIG]17154[/ATTACH] http://www.bulleidlocos.org.uk/images/bulleid/hsp/cc1drwg_w4.gif Thanks for that. The chassis is gonna cause some head scratching, but I'll figure something out. Quote
Garfield Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 As has already been said above... it would be a relatively easy scratchbuilding project at a fraction of the price, and as with the vast majority of 3D-printed models, the finish would be rough. Quote
Warbonnet Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Heljan 58 might work well as a chassis donor. I know of someone who scratchbuilt one to that chassis. Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 There is an extremely comprehensive set of photographs showing every stage of construction of this loco, taken by one of Bullied's cronies, in the National Railway Museum archives in York. Quote
Mayner Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 AHO Alco PA1 chassis might be an option Brian Fennel a member of the MRSI Loughrea group used an Athearn Alco PA1 chassis to power a scratch built model of CC1. Bogie sideframes and chain guards could be fabricated from plasitcard or3d printed. Shapeways "Frosted Detail" will give a finer finish than the nylon usually used but is a lot more expensive. Quote

John Click was the chap - wouldn't call him a crony, more a pa, although I don't know his actual title. Quote
jhb171achill Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 That's the man. I had forgotten, myself, what his actual role was.... Quote
Frank_the_ piper Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Hi, it might be of interest that a guy from the UK - Iain Simm - made a resin model of the turf burner on my request. Maybe he would make some more. As far as I remember it is a tiny bit smaller than 1/76 to give the loco a less massive appearance. I will try to post a photo of it the next days if I manage (my attempts to post photos never really work out) Frank Quote
roxyguy Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks for all the great feedback here. I am going to plough ahead with this. Given the chassis and bogie issues, it wind up as more of a decent representation than completely prototypical - but that doesn't bother me too much. As some has pointed out the 'frosted detail' from shapeways is a much better option. The goldeneye loco was produced with that material and has a much smoother finish as a result. If anyone has decent pics, I would be grateful. Thanks. Quote

WRENNEIRE Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Brass body on a Kato SD45 Chassis Just wondering if I should keep it in Brass or have it painted? Quote
Weshty Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I have to say Dave, it would be a shame to paint her. WHERE did you get that little honey? Quote
Glenderg Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Ah the "Biscuit Tin" in all her glory ... Quote
WRENNEIRE Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I have to say Dave, it would be a shame to paint her. WHERE did you get that little honey? Middle shelf, 3rd cabinet in the back room Quote
Frank_the_ piper Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Hi, here might be (if it works out) a pic of my turf burner and another pic of the former SL&NCR railcar also made by Iain Simm. The last pic is my first attempt to scratch build a model. Does anybody know how the rear and the right hand side of that railbus looked? Frank Frank Quote
gwilliams3 Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 did the person thinking of doing a 3D printed turf burner get any where ? I was thinking of doing the same, but stumbled across this post, no point in 2 people doing the same loco Quote
GSR 800 Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 did the person thinking of doing a 3D printed turf burner get any where ? I was thinking of doing the same, but stumbled across this post, no point in 2 people doing the same loco The project was probably forgotten, or lost in the mists of time... So..go for it if you want to. Quote
leslie10646 Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 John Click was the chap - wouldn't call him a crony, more a pa, although I don't know his actual title. John Click was with Bulleid at Brighton. Later he was working at the Testing Centre at Rugby when Bulleid asked Roland Bond for the loan of a couple of guys to TEST the TB. The full story has been told to me by Ron Pocklington who was the other guy sent to Ireland. When he and John Click arrived in Dublin they found that they had been sent to test a non-existent loco! The pair of them first had to build the thing! Full story was told by me in a talk entitled "The Third Man" (given to RPSI in Belfast and IRRS in London). - it's time I came to Dublin and gave the talk at Heuston? Leslie Quote
leslie10646 Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Looks great...! Yes, Frank that's an interesting model - DOES IT GO? David, yours looks super too. Brass built locos look the Bees Knees - it always seems a pity to paint them! I had my last loco photographed before being "adulterated"! Leslie Quote

Leslie Wasn't he charged with being the photographer during the build? I don't know if it was Leader or CC1 though.. Quote
leslie10646 Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Harry, I understood from Ron Pocklington that John was simply an enthusiastic photographer, rather than the official one. That said, between John and Ron they recorded the progress of the locomotive from the day they arrived right through to the trials on the Cork Main Line. I might add that John photographed Ron beside the boiler - the most significant part of the engine which existed when they turned up; the tanks had also been made - looked like progress, but wasn't - no work had been done on the actual ENGINE, which John and, more importantly Ron, set about designing and then building! It's a remarkable story. Leslie Quote

One or two of his pics of the turf burner ended up in Tom Ferris 'A Second Glance' including one of her Fresh out of inchicore, in green (although it looks blue!) The entire project is fascinating..although poor Aul 356 would probably think otherwise! Poor thing.. Quote
richrua Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 It's hideously ugly really, but therein lies part of its trainy beauty. Might try a scratch build over the winter. It must've been difficult to drive- the vision dosen't look great. Quote
