James Aitken's 2 Southern Railway 5 Plank Diagram 1380

Description: These models have been made using laser cut parts and 3D printed components (except for the wheels). All components were drawn using CAD - ProgeCad for the laser cut parts and Solidworks for the 3D printed parts which are the buffer bodies, axle boxes, brake shoes and the brake lever guides. Buffer heads were turned in my lathe and the 3 link couplings are made using 1mm soft iron wire wrapped round a former. The 3D parts were made by a company called CWRailways. In fact the parts here can be seen on their O gauge website CWRailways The final assembled model was spray painted with Precision Paints SR brown, lettered using HMRS transfers and weathered using a grey wash and dry brushing.
