  1. Yeah I gotcha. I would probably make a flexible mold using the printed model, then cast from that. Thanks for sharing. Will try to explore this when I get some free time. Have you posted any “how to”s on your work? Looks very nice.
  2. Ive played around with some Smooth On products in the past, and your suggestion is a good idea. Will require some testing and see how it comes out. I think it will be difficult to not get bubbles in the cast with all the different angles..
  3. Thanks Bob, not lookin too bad. Still waiting on parts from USA to get the trucks mounted up. Will post more pics then. Thx again
  4. Offering prototype design, and 3d printing for all of your detail parts needs and custom projects. About me: I have been involved in 3D printing for over 8 years, and am a machinist, welder and fabricator by trade with 25 years experience. Being a modeling enthusiasts, including G scale trains and scale rc construction equipment, provides many opportunities for prototyping and model building. Contact me for details or questions about a project your interested in. jason@clutchform.com
  5. Yes the lash up runs when it’s created and the engines run separately. But no movement of course like I mentioned, and when they go inactive I have to go to add mth engine and then go back and the engine will be active.. it’s an obvious glitch.. just not sure how to fix.. oh and I don’t see builds on iOS. I am running an old iPad..,maybe it’s too old?
  6. Yes sorry, it’s the most recent ver as I downloaded from mth site today. And I just purchased the premium app last night and when I check for updates it tells me it’s up to date.. and shows v3.0.1 on app settings page. I used DCS downloader v5.0.0 to install DCS 6.1...
  7. Having a bit of a problem myself. Using iOS and just updated to the premium app and updated the Tiu to ver 6. Here are 2 issues I’m having.. First as mentioned before, I cant move inactive engines or lash ups to active. Because I’m using iOS there is no arrows but the hamburger deal. I can drag the item up to active but it does not stay and snaps back to inactive.. and secondly, the speed control does not stay at a certain mph value, you can click up to say 2 mph for example but then after that the speed drops to zero automatically. This happens when dragging the needle on the speedometer to a certain speed when you remove your finger, it returns to zero.. the engines on the track do move, but then stop when speed is back to zero.. ive tried restarting app, cycling power on tiu and wiu.. any suggestions? Sry if this was answered already and I missed somewhere. Thanks
  8. Cool, I’m glad you like it. Yes just email me, it’s in my profile. Let me know which style you want. No special prep needed. Acetone will melt the abs plastic so just use alcohol to degrease before paint and enjoy. Great idea for a cool accent. Post a pic when you get it finished.
  9. Here’s what I came up with from the picture. There’s one with a cut out to go around a Kadee, and one without. I used double sided tape to attach this one to my GP and decided not to put holes for mounting so it’s not engine specific. Made of abs and printed at .15mm layer. $20 shipped for 1 or 30 for 2.
  10. Im looking at roughly 120 hrs of print time at.2 mm layer height then there’s post print cleanup, sanding and assembly of the many separate parts, not to mention materials. 450.00 would be a target price for an assembled body ready for electronics and prepaint prep. Thanks Jerry, I feel the same. I’ve started printing my own cars and accessories. Sky is the limit now.
  11. Thumbs up to Raymond. I have had him convert 9 G scale locomotives to DCS control for me over the years and I do believe his first USA Trains GP 38 conversion was one of mine. I’ve always been pleased with his work, help and professionalism. No question that he has changed the hobby in a huge way with the services he provides.
  12. Well if I can get serious over the next month and get a few made up, I’d like to see one in KCS paint too.. No sale on files.. I’ve been asked that a few times on some of the other big builds I’ve done in the past..Hard to sell a great recipe after all the hard work that went into it. I've had a few afinia h480s up until the new printer which is an UPBoxPlus, same as Afinia H800. 1350.00 right now vs 1500.00 H800. Hard to beat and I’m loving its size and abilities.
  13. I’ll get something made up by the end of the week and post it up here to see if you like. How do you want to attach it?
  14. Hello, I have built one of these and stopped. I wanted more but I started working on other models. Anyways, would you sell these? Any idea of how much $?

    Let me know when you're ready. I'm cash tight right now anyways.

    Let me know also, if you need any help with making it run. Ray will take good care of you but maybe some questions?
