- Join us while we work on this wonderful narrow gauge model!
The Hobby of Model Railways keeps getting more and more interesting for me. On this Video we look at improving my original design of the 009 Narrow gauge pannier by GWR which is a freelance loco which I came up with early in my channel days.
We add DCC control to the loco to help improve its running, then we add alot of detail to the body.
We do this in CAD and then 3D print it on the Anycubic Photon Mono X, after that we add brass details which really bring out the good looks of this loco.
Hopefully you will enjoy watching the video as much as I did making it!

As cute as a button. You are so gifted, brilliant. 😊
Thank you very much Pauline 😊
FABULOUS MODEL, the attention to detail on such a small model is really impressive💯💯
Thank you very much!
she's beautiful , 10/10 on the cuteness scale .
Thank you Its great that you like it!
I found out about something modellers call Scale Coiour a while back.
It's not a product but rather a concept, the idea being that if you look at, let's say a real life train from such a distance as to make it look small, the atmosphere will actually mute the colour, because the atmosphere is a dense matter consisting of whatever weather happens to be happening that day, in other words it act's like a camera lens filter, it blocks out certain light waves.
I recently googled it and was bombarded with products, nice, but finding out what effect the atmosphere has on the dispersal of refracted light bouncing of any given surface if viewed from a distance would in my convoluted opinion give much better results.
I like how you've noticed this concept and wish you all the best with your journey of discovery.
Cracking little self build that 0-4-0 though, what's not to like about it.
Thank you and that’s an interesting read and makes sence. I’m glad you like it as I had a lot of enjoyment making it 😊 take care
@@OONeal Thank you
Very nice video you done there. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! Take care!
@@OONeal Great and thanks very much for replying to my comment. Have a Great Christmas and Happy New year. Take Care & Stay Safe.
The new improved version with the added extras has given you a very nice little loco indeed -Great stuff Tris.
Cheers Kev
thank you Kev! I'm glad you like it!
i do like this little loco i liked the first on but this is a real step up well done
Thank you Trev, its nice to get the models even more detailed and complete. Take Care!
Perfect work
Very nice job. ⛄
Thank you John!
wow! Great work! Great result!
Thank you 😊
That is a splendid little model, wish I had one haha
Thank you, I do like it too 😊
This caused me to smile in all the right ways. Fabulous work.
Thank you Andrew, I'm glad you liked it 😊
Looks amazing
Thank you James!
This really is lovely, so cute! I love the idea that some mad engineer swindonised a narrow gauge saddle tank with a belpaire firebox and the only option was to stick a pannier tank on there too. Wonderfully bonkers. I must have one 😁
I’m glad you like it so much 😊
What patient work..hats off to you on your dedicated skill
Thank you David!
Very nice work. I get inspiret.
Good, I'm glad you like it Tommy
A fantastic result, Tris! Really enjoyable video again. Thanks.
It’s my pleasure Simon 😊 take care
I liked the crew painting masterclass. The demo board looks good.
Enjoyable video.
Thank you very much!
great looking little thing. Looks like a real one could have existed
Thank you David, I like to think that too 😊
Me: My god YT recommendations suck.
They're so wacky and don't even relate to other videos I watch lol
My recommendations today: Baby GWR 57XX Pannier!
Me: :o You've done it!
Hi Tris, what a wonderful job you have done creating that lovely little Locomotive. Congrats. Cheers Greg
Thank you Gregory! I'm glad you like it!
Cute little loco
Nick Australia
I am really impressed with your detailed work on it, and the locomotive itself. It needs so much patience! I'm speechless ☺😍
Thank you very much! It was very enjoyable to make! Thank you for your support!
Lovely little locomotive. Must be all the more satisfying knowing you've made it yourself!
Yes very much so and thank you for saying 😊 take care
Looks and runs great .. great video Tris 👍🏼
Thank you Leo!
👍
This could be the dcc combination i have been looking for. I have a Harton electric no2 kit on the go, which is even smaller than this little model of yours.
That's nice I'm planning on making a oo gauge steam railmoter using a Hornby 0-4-0 and a auto coach
Excellent, I hope you enjoy making it!
@@OONeal thx I will just need to find a gwr crimson auto coach for not stupid money
Hi Tris, that is an amazing little build. You make all you do look so easy but appreciate the skills you use.. well done indeed, all the best, Chris
Thank you Chris! it took a number of evenings but It was a project which taught me few things. I hope you are ok?
Great video Tris. A very nice locomotive you have made their. The DCC really makes the model run well. I like the demo board too. Cheers. - Nicholas.
Thank you Nicholas!! I will be making a video about the Demo board so hopefully you enjoy watching that
So cute! The upgrades are great! With 3D printing, I’m looking at a normal filament printer for HO scale stuff, can you still get decent results from a filament printer in HO or is it worth putting in the extra cash for a resin one, I’m on a bit of a budget but could maybe stretch it if I wouldn’t be able to get good HO stuff out of a filament printer. I’d rather put in the money for something proper than pay less for something that I can’t get as much out of.
I think the Filament printers can do a good job but I believe a resin printer will really get the detail you are after. Its just more messy with resin but if your ok with that then go Resin.
@@OONeal my friend recommended a very fairly priced package with the UV curing thing and the printer, so I think I will go with resin and see where it gets me, I’ve seen resin prints before and have always been impressed by the quality so any mess is probably worth it!
im not a modeller, i prefer bigger stuff, but this is spot on, looks a proper nice narrow gauge engine
Thank you Its always nice to read comments like these.
Nice piece of modelling, sir. It must be something else to be able to take an idea and make it real with the 3D printing now. Great video Tristan. Thanks again. Keep Well now!
It is enjoyable to take an idea and make it a real thing. Thank you for the kind comment. Take care!
Certainly squeezed a lot of detail on the model and lots of electrical gubbins in such a small loco!
It was a squeeze indeed but quite a bit of fun
Beautiful Model Neal! Extremely Impressive, although I must ask the music you used at 14:30 with the running shots? Extremely great work Neal!
Thank you! I think that one is called No4 piano sonata.
Small is beautiful. Amazing ;itt;e steam engine Tris. I have seen the Adler on the Brecon Mountain Railway and you have given me an idea to convert a 3D body I bought from Shapeways.
Many thanks! I'm glad you like it!
You’ve squeezed a lot of detail in there it’s a great looking little locomotive.
Thank you it was a lot of fun to do 😊
Love this little loco. Are you going to make the stl files available? I would love to have a go at putting one of these together.
Tris this looks amazing! I like building freelance models. If you are after a replacement chassis I built a quarry Hunslet with an n gauge Percy chassis it’s a great base for narrow gauge builds
Hi Steve, thank you yes I’ve seen the n gauge Percy but only found expensive ones for now but I would like to get one as that would be a much better runner. Take care
If i saw that going round on a lay out wouldn't know if it was hand made or factory built , really good modelling Tris. Would like to see a how to, conversions from dc to dcc ,+ cab , directional lighting & sound if possible. Keep going mate . Stay safe
Thank you Phil that’s very kind of you to say. I would have to learn how to do it first but it’s on my to do list of things I would like to learn about. Take care 😊
Very nice. Which model is your 3D printer?
Thank you, the Printer is a Anycubic Photon Mono X 😊
PLEASE TELL ME WHERE U BUY UR TRACK and also tell me where u got the wheel chassis for the train
hello Tris hope you are well fella. just wondering if you could have a go at printing a Ivor the engine body. I've not seen one ever made and i know you like a challenge
Hello Gareth, I'm sure someone has done it. Maybe in the future I could do something but there are a few things to do first 😁
@@OONeal ooh I'll keep my 👀 open for your new streams and videos
thank you you are giving me the confidence to try this on a couple of my locos to restore them back to health ! good video
does it run better now ?
Thats my pleasure. Its much better than the DC running which is super.
Hi Tris, so impressed by your upgrade. Loved the idea of a tank engine doing a wheelie, must be the high pressure boiler! Have you got room for a trailing pony to make it an 0-4-2 to overcome the wheelies? just a thought. Cracking job, you should be proud. 👍
I was thinking about a pony truck I would have to modify the chassis to fit it in but it’s possible I think. It’s just having the confidence is the thing but I will get there 😊 thank you for your kind comment 😊
@@OONeal I think your skill has grown more than enough! 😉 Cheers, see you on the next one.
If panniers were narrow guage
😁
@OO Neal where do I buy? Seriously, I want to buy one of these for my OO9 railway.
Lovely modelling, Tris! How is your progress on the narrow gauge station and turntable?
Thank you Jade 😊 I lost alot of motivation on the station as the locos ran poorly on it. I wish to do it again some time but do something more simple and that runs well.
@@OONeal I undrstand the frustration. Its vitally important on a model railway to have good running trains - otherwise it becomes tedious.
What would happen if this was 7 1/4 inch scale?
It would be a very nice model indeed!
Are you using a resin printer? I dont see any lines so I'm trying to figure out if you are using certain setting to remove the lines or if its resin
I am using a Resin Printer, Its a Anycubic Photon Mono X It is very good but you need to mount the model at an angle and that helps remove the line. something around 43 degrees with the smoke box pointing away from the build tray. Also the Alias setting I put on 8 which helps smoothen out the model.
I hope that helps 😊
@@OONeal Thanks
Okey how many Brothers dose Duck the great western engine have?
Ha Ha I guess he has a few more now 😁
What do u use for a printer?
Hello Giorgio, I use a Anycubic Photon Mono X it’s a resin printer
@@OONeal and what kind of resin? Do only use a uv box to cure the resin or r there any other things u have to do to it? I design OO and N scale models as well but have been getting them printed by someone else so I was just trying to get an idea on where to start if I wanted to print them myself
