Pictures better than a thousand words so:

Opposite side opposite wheel looks like this:


Combined brakes like this:


Just going to post revised brakes should be with you tomorrow.

Left and right hand levers fit like this



So if you push either lever down the operating shaft rotates in the same direction.

Thought so ....... working upside down and back to front - that's what screwed the first D10 build. The spare I had was %^&* so it got binned. Since then I have had 3 print failures trying to print a new body. The skate is failing to attach itself to the build plate across one long axis of the plate. I thoroughly cleaned the build plate with acetone until I wasn't getting any more of the black stuff off. Second print failed identically so more cleaning, this time including alcohol cleaning of the resin vat and the screen protector, yet another failure. So I have gone right back to basics and releveled the build plate and gone through yet another cleaning session. Print run 4 will be started later today.

Your fancy Mono X 4K came very quickly, mind you ot would have been from their UK stocks I guess, and it's cost was little different to the Mono X I bought a few months ago.

Don't trip up like I did with the firmware version, check your printers firm wear is the current offering from Anycubic. Mine was hopelessly out of date.

Andy,

Mine refused to print anything until I updated the firmware, but looking at the QC label it was built 3 years earlier, so potentially the firmware was well out of date,

While I have been doing battle with the D10, these two have been kept under wraps. The build process is identical to the D10. The brake levers are only partially fitted (print failures mean I am reprinting some righthand brake levers. The detached ends are also being reprinted because I changed the design and screw things up. Hopefullu later today both wagons will be completed. I'm amazed how clear the NER 1A on the axleboxes shows up.

Rain, and your on the sunny dry side of Scotland, we are on about our 8-9 day of sunshine but the Headingly test starts today so it's bound to rain in the next 5 days.

I have spent many summer holidays in the highlands, you can just about guarantee at least half the days were ruined by rain, two come to mind, one it rained for 13 days out of 14 and we were there with 3 kids the other after 10 days of rain, we simply packed up and returned to sunny Yorkshire! In general the best weather in the highlands is found during May and June.

D1 (left) and d2 (right) finished. Bolsters just propped in situ. Back to the D10 next once I have figure out how to do the securing rings on the bolsters.

Starting the new D10 build.

The D10 has two fixed bolsters like the grey one in the picture above, however it also has six smaller bolsters which fit into pockets 3 per side. These can be lifted in and out as required. I have chosen to fit the metalwork on these before doing the basic build work on the wagon. Using the age old method of annealing brass wire and wrapping it around various circular formers coupled with lots of fiddling about I got about half way through these last night and have finished them off this morning all up I'm quite pleased with the results. I still need to do the same for the D1 and D2 bolsters but I now have a working method to get the job done.



.7mm wire for the main bolsters and .5mm wire for the smaller ones. I'm rather pleased with the results especially on the small bolsters but less so those on the large bolster so may well modify those.

Thanks Rob,

I have hand a real good look through Tatlow and decided I don't like the iron work on the big bolsters so its coming off and being replaced.
The interesting is the number of variations shown through out the photos in Tatlow
