Hunslet Lilla 3d print


Well I decided to treat myself to a ROBEX 3d printed model of Lilla! Have to say that I am rather impressed with her. Quick and easy to set up. I have added some weights to the front of the loco to ensure she runs level. The Minitrains chassis is back heavy which means you will need to add some ballast to the smokebox. 

Now to send her off to the painter and add some detail to make her as Lilla as possible!

Bagnall update

Well just thought I would drop a quick update around the Bagnall. Added a bit of beading around the tank in order to add a little more detail. The 3d print is pretty basic however, still exceptional as you can add on various bits of detail and make numerous variants.

Well I had a bit of a brainiac when building the Bagnall IST around the Minitrains chassis. I wondered if the chassis would fit under the Five79 kit of Avonside Elidir. I am happy to say that the kit fits like a glove on the kit and with very little modification. As you can imagine I am over the moon with this. Have a little bit more work to do on the kit in terms of detailing. But I have attached a couple of pics.
