[masahiraoka]

I've been travelling so appologies for the delay in posting

here is the 2D assembly drawing for the ash pan and hoppers. my post on 24/04/2020 showed an extract portion of the full size BR drawing and the 3D printed in plastic scale ash pan and hoppers.


Nigel is working on the 2D drawings for the tender so will post some of these shortly

hi all
time rushes on as does the work on the West Country.

Nigel has now finished the 2D CAD drawings for the tender as well and the engine, in total 54 of them, use this link to see drawing index in the post of 16/06/2023

the final one is I think the piece de resistance the drawing for Painting and Lining see below.

Now that the drawings are complete Nigel will return to building the prototype in the new year.

That's going to be a fantastic model for model engineers to build! I'm looking forward to seeing the prototype come together which, I'm sure, will encourage others to build their own.

Thanks Mike
it’s been a long road but the result is worth it and will stand the test of time.

Martyn,

Do you have any idea of pricing(s) and likely availability dates that you are prepared to disclose yet?

Regards,
Phil

Hi Phil
unfortunately we don’t have indicative pricing at the moment as we’re still refining our manufacturing methods eg 3D printing directly in metal vs 3D printing in was then casting.
naturally we’ll choose the lowest cost that gives us the high quality we’re looking for.
And similarly timing is also up in the air as we complete the prototype refining and correcting the design as we go.
sorry we can’t be more definitive at the moment.
ciao martyn
