    I thought you might like to see some pics of my build of the Kyle signal box
    .
    Parts printed I only have blue PLA
    It paints well with Acrylic paint.
    And the finished build except for lights and internals
    Be seeing you

    Bob that’s come together very nicely, it’s quite amazing what you can do now at home with a 3D printer.

    Hi Chris
    thanks for those kind words. It is amazing the different things you can make it really only depends on you imagination.
    and the add-ons you can get for different programmes to give textures to the finish seems to be endless.
    The postie has just arrived with some brass parts for the signal gantry for Kyle So next will be the soldering iron for a while.
    Be seeing you
    Bob

    You have too much time on your hands! :lol:
    As its obviously a 3D image pictured, do you intend to print it in plastic or metal or is it 3D to take dimensions from to machine from metal?

    Hi All some of you may remember I was gifted by a late friends widow the parts of a Hachette's Mallard.
    I made the kit to be a display model not a runner. Well I have now have painted the model and made a stand.
    here are some pics


    I don't know if I will ballast the track or not what do you all think?
    be seeing you

    She's a beauty mate!
    Personally I'd ballast the track. 00 ballast would be ideal.

    Cheer's, Pete.
