Class 47 with 9 mk1s, Gauge 3 scale,
3d printed model loco, with all wheel drive and fully sprung with independent suspension.

Progress on the Cornish Engine house prototype, it is 1/19 scale and its quite large compared with our station ticket office, the top level will have floorboards throughout, there is still the pump rod to finish and the chimney top needs to have the bricks carved in and molded.

Due to popular demand, We also sell our products on ebay,

Work in progress, Great Western Railway lower quadrant signal, this is for my own railway but will be produced as a kit in the new year

British Rail MK1 BG

The BG was a parcels coach that doubled as a brake coach with a Gaurds compartment and a handbrake.It had a corridor connection so it could be run with other passenger stock. A very useful coach as it could be found on local trains, parcels, fast passanger, and royal mail trains.
This coach is the shorter 57 foot frame.
It will make it around 7 foot radius happily.
It uses a strong construction where the side panels consist of a 2mm
clear pre curved plastic panel. This forms the main strength of the body and also doubles as the glazing. The outside of the coach sides, consists of 1mm
thick facia panels, with molded door hinges, door stops, rain strips and window holes. The top of the coach sides are supported by a 2x10mm aluminium bar, this ensures the top is rigid and forms a base for the roof clips.The kit also inludes a one piece molded solebar/floor section and one piece precurved roof panel.

Not included are buffers, couplings, roof vents or bogies.

It can be purchased here from our website

Work on the Cornish Engine house is progressing, the main building now has the stone chimney added, this will be supplied with a slot cut in it to mate up to the building, or no slot if the chimney is to be a stand alone type.

Cornish engine house,
Customers keep asking me to make this so here we are! Chimney coming next,
This has been done in 1/19 scale and its massive! About 70cm tall, as its a particularly big engine house and to scale. The chimney will stand even taller.. This is the first one from the mold, the corner joints haven't been cleaned up yet and will fit a bit more flush once done, corner joins will also need to be filled, in the same style as our other buildings, the stones were by done tracing over real Engine house stone work, to look more realistic, the resin walls are 25mm thick and are of a composite molding. Pictured also is a real one and what it will look like once complete

A busy day on Saturday at the 30th anniversary party for the Gauge 3 society,
selling coach kits and painted buildings

A customer has made a lovely job assembling and painting our station and terrace housing kits.

It was great to see the Flying Scotsman tonight, looks like the local police enjoyed it too!

Our new station Halt kit, this utilities the existing platform edging with some new flat brick edging for the rear, this is so the fence panels can butt up against it, the platform comes with a one piece foamex top.
The platform could in theory be made to any length as the fencing and brickwork are modular
