WIP- 00 Scale Alfred and Judy- the Port of Par Twins

thingiverse

PLEASE NOTE: This is a work in progress. Print at your own risk as changes are being made constantly. If you download to modify for your own needs, you shouldn't have any problems if you know what you're doing. Changes have been made to the engine bodies to accommodate and sit flush with custom-designed chassis. The chassis is designed to fit a Tramfabriek 0615s motor with Hornby L&Y Pug wheels and axles. The gear on the rear driving axle will need to be replaced with the custom-designed gear provided. CUSTOM ETCHED CONNECTING RODS ARE IN PROGRESS. If you wish to make your own, they will need to have 1.9 mm holes for the crankpins set 20mm apart. Cylinders are a work in progress as well, and may end up being secondhand. I'm not sure yet, but I want these models to be available to anyone that wants to go and get a head start on them despite them not being technically finished. 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. The design for the cab is the same across all engines. There is a space in the front of the smokebox where the smokebox door slots in. Holes are also provided in which a spare Hornby hook and chain coupler could be attached. Additional optional details would include handrails (the models already contain holes for inserting knobs,) lamp irons, nameplates, and so on.
