INTRODUCTION :
In selecting Emerald as the basis of my exhibition layout, it means I would need Puffing Billy
locos and rollingsrock, and specifically for Emerald. Since the 3 small steamers are normally
kept there as is the NRT shunter - they are needed as well.
So about 2 years ago I found some 3D printable models of several Puffing Billy prototype. A website called www.shapeways.com.au will print and post your 3D designs, and sell them to anyone who pays - a price to print it. he designer is gvrocksnow. He has tried to help everytime I asked for a modelto be redisgned. And as well I thank Charles S fromCanberra who I believe commisioned these models. At the time all the models were on HO scale, and I wanted O scale but in 1:48. Then they released Q129, the flat wagon used as a transport for the VR narrow gauge equipment. This year I sent a email to the 3D designer who then released many item in 1:48 So I ordered several units. But some would not print. The PBR Decauville #861 would not print,as the V didn't either. So that's when I ordered the Peckett. Itprinted and that was the start of these projects. This page is not just about the shapway projects. Others will come eventually. |
