Leek station- an O Gauge project

@paul_l there is one more file to send which is a second 3 bay window, but it’s not a window... as such. Will make sense when you get the file tomorrow.

did I include the non window door? And have the back panels of the doors been tested yet? Or is that to do?
Many thanks again.

 

That’s odd. Is it a stress related thing due to the thickness at that point?
See how they come out with the support.

 

Despite the barely noticeable distortions they are amazing prints. Well done all

 

Sent the other window file and also the solid door (it should have been on the door frame with no top window?

 

Now, the next unique part I’ve been tasked with creating by Yorkie is the bracket that supports the canopy beams. These appear to be cast metal, so you can guess what some parts will be shaped like etc, but other than being 3ft high and 4ft long, that’s about all we know and the rest is a guesstimate.


so here’s what we’re looking at on Leek Station. As far as we know, none survived after 50 years since demolition, so it really is a make it up as you go along part, and try to reproduce it the best you can within the printing tolerances of a 3D printer.
The inverted L shape was pretty quick to be done, harder was the initial curve section and then I came to the star of St David in the circle. That alone took me 90 minutes with 4 versions tried before I got it to look like this.

so we’re part way through. Some bits will still need sizes adjusting, some will need parts beefing up and tweaking. But I’ll keep a post of how we progress.

 

Maybe. Like I say, much to do and a bit of research on similar items.

 

So as things progress I moved on. I did notice I’d inverted one part of the artwork so had to start the log bow curve again as the thin rib was the wrong side.


So this was last night. Packed up about 23:20hrs before turning in.

 

And so the joys of rest days, being able to jump on the computer for another 90mins.

I’ve more or less signed this off now as done, unless Yorkie wants some tweaks, although I’m limited to how much/close I can get due to print thicknesses, so as I’ve had no measurements and only one photo, I’m pretty pleased at the final result.



line drawing.


3/4 view.


And the rendered model.

 

This afternoon and evenings challenge was recreating some signage. These are double sided.
Now if you look back up the thread you will see these two signs in the photo of the canopy supports. The ladies one hangs down and the Gents one sticks out off the wall..
But just to see, I like to put them in perspective to see how close or far out I am.

again, I’m happy here.. best stop at that Or I’ll end up recreating Leek Station in 3D
