3D printed steam donkey

[itsmcgee]

I have been working on a 7/8ths 3D printed steam donkey. So far it's looking pretty nice.

I can see me building one of these very nice line-side accessory

I think "pretty nice" is very much an understatement.

Wouah!! Can you tell me the scale in %: is it 1/20?

67% of 7/8ths

En bon français (metric system): 7/8" to the foot scale is 1:13.7 Scale. It's a very good job, too large for a classic G Gauge garden layout.
Best regards - Gérard.

It would make a VERY fine model to go on a rail flat for anybody lucky enough to the a 7/8th scale lumber layout. It such a model was made available in 1/20.3 I'd buy one.

At some point I will be offering this model in 1:20.3 / 16mm as I have had many requests for it.

 

[Gérard Baudoin]

I'am interested too. What would be the price and shipping fees from the states?

IMO 1/20.3 so the way to go. I'm not aware that machinery like this ever made it's way to UK, and again, there are no 16mm scale lumber operations that might use such a mighty source of power. Line-lumbering did not happen in UK - the trees are just not big enough. Can anybody justify having one on their 16mm layout? Probably not, but it would be a great talking point anyhow.

tac, there's a prototype for everything

Shrug.

That's really sweet. Well done.
Are you using resin printing. The parts look really smooth?

Are you going to share it online... Thingiverse, TinkerCAD-Gallery?
I'd like to try and scale it down in the slicer and use it on my 45mm bush tramway.

Cheers
Rob

I made a few changes and finalized the kits I have posted both 7/8ths and 20.3.

Are you selling the program[me] or a kit? If it is a programme then I'm sunk since one of many things I lack is a 3D printer of any kind. Good idea, though.

First test print of the 7/8ths Dolbeer. Still needs a bit of tweaking but coming along nicely.
