He did a rebuild off the whole truck and made it that it looks like a australian Roadtrain.
and if you dont know, that means he had a roadtrain looking MACK in switzerland on the road
youp thats my dads truck! all built by him self off a picture of a australian roadtrain.
he won several titels with it, as the best looking truck in switzerland, and was in some magazines all over europe
I do love small locomotives. Seeing them on the layout gently hauling two or three freight wagons, or two maybe three carriages a delight.
I have a 4.2.2 Caledonian Single + three carriages on order.
A Manning Wardle L Class on order
A LSWR B4 arriving later this week (hopefully)
That Manning Wardle looks tiny!
I have two Terriers. Lovely little locomotives.
Yes, RMWeb can be 'aggressive' at times (imo)
The Manning Wardle is tiny. It will be later in the year when it arrives.
One of the 'Terriers' with two carriages
Electrical boxes
cages and ladders
HVAC ductwork (roof top wall mount)
Pipes, valves, fittings, etc.....
Different styles of towers (cell, TV, radio etc..)
I could go on and on!
There was a maker on Shapeways who made pipe fittings that would slide into different sizes of styrene tubes. He had all kinds of shut off valves, T-fittings, 90, 45, 30 degree fittings that you could make any combination of piping you needed. Sadly most of that stuff is gone with their closure, but I bet he sold a heck of a lot of thise things. They would come on a sprue type thing with 10-12 fittings on each.
Something similar with roof top ventilation would be cool as well.

Me too. I have a few 0-4-0 and 0-6-0s. I just need to work a little bit harder to keep them running.

Wow, nice! I have wanted a terrier but they're all gone. E1 was my next chance at a terrier, a larger terrier from what I've been seeing on RMWebb. But those guys were tearing that one guy up for noticing the differences to the prototype! Wow!
That Manning Wardle looks tiny!

Well, boys, I fired up the 3D scanner.
It's going to be a vicious learning curve - for as good as the hardware seems, the software is atrocious and they don't have a user guide.
I scanned the front coupler of SP-745, which we are about to start restoring back to operation. Sadly, being New Orleans, I got caught in a rainstorm so had to rush the job.
My plan is to scan items, 3D print them in scale, and sell them on eBay. If you guys can think of any high-demand items, please let me know! I'm in no way creative. Lumber mills must be very popular right now, because I think every single person who has bought my prints has been building one. Luckily, I have access to a historic lumber mill that is pretty much intact - so the goal is to scan the life out of the place.

Oh, that's going to be easy - I already have a lot of those models from my day-job. My profile picture is a cutaway valve I printed for work.
