Port of Par Twins- 1/76 00 Scale Models

thingiverse

NOTE: The models have been majorly revamped after fiddling with them privately to make them better for 3D printing. There are 4 seperate versions of each engine's body. One with buffers and supports for the bufferbeams, one without buffers but with supports, one with buffers but no supports, and one with no buffers or supports. You can use any one of these when printing, whatever you feel will work best. These are body shells for 00 scale (1/76 scale) models of the two twin engines that work in the Port of Par in southern England. Though normally painted green, they are depicted here painted yellow in honor of another pair of engines bearing their likenesses. If you're wondering which is Alfred and Judy, Judy's water tank is slightly extended with rivets. Alfred's is slightly shorter, with no rivets. When it comes to choices for the chassis, I'm currently looking at using a Hornby Class 21 pug with a different motor to power the model. I might design a chassis of my own at some point that's more accurate to the original engines, but that's not a high priority for me at the moment.
