I really wish you’d sell your designs as STLs. I’d love to print a whole lot of these, maybe 15 coaches, to use on a layout. I’d especially like this with the double bogey coaches you design med a while ago. Buying coaches gets expensive quick, but being able to print out 15-20 would be a lot less expensive. Even if the files were $50 a coach, it’s still cheaper than buying actual coaches from a manufacturer
Absolutely delightful. Thanks for sharing your journey deep into the Land Of Cute. The cylinders underneath later C19th coaches are for gas or oil -- depending which system is being used -- so a coach thus fitted will need only a small chimney above each lamp, as opposed to the big fat chimney/housing seen on a self-contained oil lamp in earlier coaches. In theory you'd expect one lamp per 'compartment' in 3rd Class, and two in 1st Class, all being centred between facing pairs of seats. There would also be one ventilator next to each lamp. The cylinder might alternatively represent the spring housing for Newall's semi-automatic brake, patented in 1856 and adopted by the LSWR in 1858. The system could be extended to a coach on either side of the mechanism, so in a Newall-fitted set of three the coach with the guard's compartment would have to be the middle one. Passenger luggage in the C19th was usually in hampers, trunks -- which is why luggage vans and luggage compartments had double doors -- or Gladstone/carpet bags. The suitcase was virtually unknown until the 1920s, and for travel use only became more or less universal in the 1950s. Just saying. I do like your 'faded' suitcase, though -- clearly belonging to a much-travelled passenger. Even if you don't weather your rolling stock, you've made a start on the luggage...
Early suitcases in North America were called grips, from the late 1800s, and were very well known during the tumultuous '30s. Trunks would be even easier to mold but only for cars used by long-distance travellers.
@@randytaylor1258 As I understand it, grips were akin to the modern sports bag, soft and flexible with a zip opening along the top and two carrying handles, but made of canvas with a fabric liner. Suitcases seem to have evolved from the Gladstone bag, which was made of hard leather and opening right out from hinges underneath, with one carrying handle, usually fastened with snaps or clips. The carpet bag was a small soft version of the Gladstone bag, only the frame around the opening being rigid.
Thank you! And I did already make some bogie coaches - they worked pretty well, and it was nice not to have to faff around with special couplings! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I've always loved watching you make rolling stock and locos, but coaches are always a nice special treat to watch you create. Honestly excellent work Sam!
The difference between RCAF and other Commonwealth Harvard training aircraft is the length of the exhaust pipe -- really! The exhaust comes out on the right side above the wing but Canadian Harvards have a.much longer pipe that exits behind the rear cockpit, so it heats the two cockpits while flying above the frozen tundra. (Suppose Spitfire and Hurricane pilots would have liked a heated cockpit?) Stoves in many old trains had long, meandering chimneys to increase the heating in the coach.
They look really good. The design with the vestibules and centre aisle is nice and the guards section is excellent. You know, I think you are a better painter than you give yourself credit for. When I am painting fine details like hand rails or other tiny parts, I find it useful to hold the job on something solid (like the table) and use a spare finger on my brush hand to brace against the job whilst using just my fingers to move the brush and not my whole hand. It eliminates the problem of holding the model in one slightly shaky hand and the brush in the other slightly shaky hand while trying to accurately place paint. My hands are very steady but even the steadiest (and youngest like you) hand shakes a tiny bit. Also I find that I REALLY have to be in the mood for it. 😊
Hi Sam, you've done a great job on those coaches and should feel proud. I'm very impressed. I can see a steady improvement in your 3D printing efforts. A couple of suggestions for future projects: - Have you considered printing the interiors separately so they just slot in? This would make it easier to sand and paint them and add passengers if you wanted to. - If you want to take it up another level how about adding some LED lights? With the time you spent on the interiors this would make it easier to see them. They could either powered from the track or one of those kits with a reed switch, battery and magnetic switch. I think the latter would be easier. You'd need to design a hiding place for the battery. Perhaps the roof, end or if doing a slot-in interior under that.
My suggestion for little details like grab irons and stuff is to use a simple sharpie. I use sharpies for all of my little details and as long as you have a steadier hand than I do (which doesn’t say much) than you should be fine.
@@matthew_thefallen pretty useful little things they are. The come in all different shapes, sizes, colors, fine tip, round tip, wedge tip. Sharpies are great!
for painting raised detail, if all at the same height, a stamp pad system can be used to transfer paint just to the detail. I spent a great deal of time as a boy model building 1/72 aircraft and picked up a few tricks.
Great results - and probably cheaper than buying the equivalent Hornby products! Have you considered making a bogie coach - maybe printed in sections or perhaps some small buildings?
They look lovely, Sam. You should be very proud of your work. I'm not sure what wheel sets you use. I use the dapol spoked ones, which you can buy in a pack of 20 for £17, I think. I combine them with 2mm pin point brass bearings, which I think were about £5 for 20 or maybe 40, and I have very easy running 3d printed rolling stock. I just leave a 2mm dia hole where the bearing needs to go, which fills in a little with the filament when it prints. Then I drill them out carefully with a 2mm drill bit and press the bearings in. Worth a look at using them.
Hi Sam, again a very beautiful result 🤩👍 The museum visit has given valuable information! The level of details is astonishing! I wonder, are these 3D-printers able to print such small details that it would be possible to print rolling stock on a much smaller scale, for instance 1/220 (z-gauge)? Greetings from Belgium 🙋♂️
Talk about beautiful. I imagine these will more along the lines of a kit compared to the Dapol unpainted wagons. Learned that the hard way myself when I tried painting them, but still can’t get enough of putting them together😳😳😳
I’m not normally interested in pre grouping stock but these do look very good, I like the blue livery you have put them into. My Accurascale Deltic has finally arrived today, it’s a fantastic model.
Congratulations. You have done a great job on these. I will definitely be buying these when the time comes. The colour combination is very striking particularly with the Caledonian engine. I am a big fan of early era coaches. These are fantastic. I will have to come up with a suitable colour scheme to go with my Lord of the Isles. Cheers. P.S. A friend warned me that I would spend all day in the train museum.
Sam very nice professional work . I think you made a nice rake of coaches . I think a forth coach would really go nice. I really like the color you chose. You are really getting better at this and compared to what some of the manufacturers are putting out there you should be very proud of yourself. Congratulations on your your new rake .
off the back of your 3d printing I actually got a 3d printer, PLA as yours, for I suspect the same reason (fumes from resin!), N gauge and not really had much luck with N gauge stock.. however it is very good for terrain features, have you tried stuff like platforms, buildings etc?
Sam, Could You Try And Get The Preserved Version Of The 812 (Also Number 828 By The Way) And Compare It To The One You Have? (You Have The One As Built)
Loved this video! Amazing to see your progression from the first 3D printing video up to now. Would you ever consider making a piece of American rolling stock?
What is great and tragic at the same time. You with a 3D printer and a dream did more with less than Hornby has in 10 years with a multimillion dollar, funding, and manufacturing.
It's look very interesting sam I suppose want be the next step if is to experiment with a little coaches is pretty the colourful blue at the least you need pivoting connections of those everything used the colours of blue machine works buddy keep it up.
I like em sam, now a bogie coach version is in other eh? Funny thing, watching this video and building a northeastern scale models B&M combine. 3d printing beats a wood kit anyday
Interesting! As I say, the end of the coach was based on a photo I took myself - and the real thing did have two lamp irons, and one was below a step like that! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Could you 3D print a J70 to a comparison between the Rapido and yours? My grand father worked with the j70's in Ipswich when the large fishing and shipping port was there before they closed
Those look great! I wish I had that skill of making 3D-printed models. I tried it once, didn't go very well... Also, can you review a modern American diesel locomotive? Most of the American stuff you've done has been older engines like the RS-11, GG1, & the Southern mogul.
When painting details by hand mount the paint job firmly to a solid base so hand shake does not affect the application of paint. Likewise use a hand rest to steady the paint brush e.g rest the base of the fist on the desktop. Great job but - much better than the cheap blue wagons Hornby produced (maybe with their clockwork sets?) that had moulded couplers and interior or glazing.
I always enjoy these "homebrew" model video so much Sam! Thanks so much for making them, they're clearly a lot of effort. You really are starting to outdo Hornby, in fact if you had access to an injection molding machine I think you certainly would. I know it's intrinsically messy - but any thoughts on getting a resin printer? Honestly it feels like the only issue with the finished product is the sacrifices you have to make because of your limited print resolution, and those darn layer lines! I'm sure you're aware, a decent resin printer might really help with this. Anyway, hope you have a great week Sam! :)
Great work The challenging part is the actual design using 3D software, for my 3D printing I use Fusion 360, but I think you use some other program. I don't suppose you have any plans to do a more detailed video of how you actually did the design using the 3D software? Phil
Well done you again Sam. Quite the interesting and involved project. Your painting and finishing skills definitely are floating on a clear path of advancement in a perpetual learning curve. Especially the colour is well chosen. Interestingly your Caledonian 812 has become one of our all time favourites the moment you’ve reviewed her. She very much pops out with her gorgeous colour and intricate details. It’s nice to see her chuffing about again. Lovely, and what a wonderful consist.
These coaches look like Caledonian coaches. Now your Caledonian single and 812 can have some semi prototypical coaches. You should make a lavatory coach using similar designes.
Hi Sam can I suggest when putting decals on coat the model in gloss I use floor varnish as the decals go on better and don’t get white marks on the decal then coat in matt coat
Sam, for your next project, can you 3D print some girder bridges for the gaps on your O gauge layout? I cringe every time I see an expensive loco on those bits of track, especially when it flexes. Another idea might be to lay roofing felt under the track to simulate ballast, hiding the bare wood.
Thanks Robin! Yes I only considered the crests once the design was done - doesn't lend itself to one crest, as there's a panel line down the middle of the coach, but I would've preferred just one! :( Thanks for watching, Sam :)
You should introduce more separately fitted parts to your wagons and coaches I think. Especially, now that you have a resin 3d printer, this should be much easier.
Hi sam Very good video You should of done a full brake. I hand eye coordination is amazing Amazing design and detail Sorry I can't add much Keep safe arp
Thanks so much Adi - a full brake is a great idea! I don't feel like I have such good co-ordination when my hands start shaking, haha! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I actually went to the NRM recently too and I saw duchess of Sutherland coming into the station light engine, few! I’ve not ran that fast to a station in a long time
Hi Sam i just want to recommend that you try pledge klear multi surface polish before decals and as a final layer. It's a bit shiny but easy to use and cheap u can get it at most supermarkets in a big bottle for under £10
With air brushing paint you can dictate the final colour by the choice of undercoat. White for bright and black for deep.
I really wish you’d sell your designs as STLs. I’d love to print a whole lot of these, maybe 15 coaches, to use on a layout. I’d especially like this with the double bogey coaches you design med a while ago. Buying coaches gets expensive quick, but being able to print out 15-20 would be a lot less expensive.

The cylinders underneath later C19th coaches are for gas or oil -- depending which system is being used -- so a coach thus fitted will need only a small chimney above each lamp, as opposed to the big fat chimney/housing seen on a self-contained oil lamp in earlier coaches. In theory you'd expect one lamp per 'compartment' in 3rd Class, and two in 1st Class, all being centred between facing pairs of seats. There would also be one ventilator next to each lamp.

Hi Sam i just want to recommend that you try pledge klear multi surface polish before decals and as a final layer. It's a bit shiny but easy to use and cheap u can get it at most supermarkets in a big bottle for under £10
Sam that fitting is supposed to be a gas tank for lighting.
Ta very much John... I can pretend I knew that now xD
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Let's see some more modern carriages ie Southern region ?
