Hello, Wolfgang, I have my model made in the jewellery industry using the investment casting method. I transfer the STL-files and receive the cast model by mail. the models from shapewyas were always only half-finished - I always had to rework them. My models from the jewellery industry can be used ...

Update:

a first small series is structured as follows:

Update:

now also the bogies are constructed true to detail - they will be cast out of brass

If it wasn't for the virus, we'd be okay despite the output restriction. I have stocked up our food supplies and can now avoid any contact with the many covid-19 ignorants for the next 8 weeks. MY HOME IS MY CASTLE Since March 16th I have been working exclusively in the home office and will not be b...

Hi Doug,

I have ordered the DCX65 without cables. please describe the wiring of the coloured cables , their functions and show the complete schematics.

Thanks.

Hi,
thank you for citating my mail...but how much duty we will have to pay in the future remains to be seen.

I very much hope that Scotland will return to the EU.

best wishes from the EU,

edit: In the standards of European Model Railways you can also find the capture cant in the track curve ...... In model railway operation, a superelevation is possible from the not necessary for dynamic reasons; they require even increases the risk of vehicles tipping inwards. For this reason, one s...

Hello, Mike, you ask for the smallest possible radius...but not the smallest possible radius but the smallest true to scale radius is important. In the standards of European Model Railways (NEM), the smallest arc radius is defined as follows: Smallest recommended arc radius = 25 x G (gauge) .... up ...

At supermagnetman.com are very small magnets available:

0.012" (0.3mm) dia x 0.019" (0.5mm) long

yes, this is the mathematical calculation of the downscaling.

In the new 1:450 model, however, the minimum wall thickness must be checked.

Shapeways will not print below the minimum.

Edit:

the lenght of the dead area in the middle of the electrial ponit is about 18mm

and the total wheelbase of the Class 08 RTR is 2 x 7,89mm = 15,58mm

Hi,
I'm afraid with only three axles this shunter won't run over points - it'll stop.

Hi all,

there are also Nano RFID Transponder available (2,5mm x 2,5mm x 0,3mm) at https://www.rfidsolutions.de/rfid-produ ... onder-uhf/

Update: i like to combine the following materials to reach the maximum weight of the loco (from left to rigt):: BR01_PBG.jpg housing and chassis set A: total weigt = 2,2g housing plastic = 0,3g chassis brass = 1,9g housing and chassis set B: total weigt = 3,8g housing brass = 1,9g chassis brass = 1,...

Update:

the isolation is very simple by using plastic chassis with glued current collectors
and so I willl run next tests with the new chassis.

BR,

Siegfried

not planned yet.

I´m very very sure that nobody may pay the real value of contruction, assembly and material

my work shows what's possible not what's buyable - and there is still a lot possible
