My 3d printing has taken over the railway modelling! However, they are all designs that will be utilised in the future on the layout! I am currently on design number 250! Ther are just 35 showcased in this vid https://youtu.be/5MZKvwsI7rI , but in the coming weeks I will be organising a full set of ...

They are very believable!

Thanks Jim, they look stunning and it's a great article, may well pinch the 2mm plastic tube idea!

You simply "stretched" a wagon! lol, talk about understatement! Terrific work as usual! I have always had a hankering to make the traditional BR fluorescent Tee lamps and have them lit. There is one supplier, but theirs is rather thick and dumpy! To that end, I designed one in 3D and print...

That's terrific, I love animated stuff, the build looks great too! I have played with Arduino's, but connecting with phones is beyond me! (busy learning 3D printing, so Arduino projects are on hold)

Lumsdonia link suggestion Writing from the USA. Your website "links" are especially helpful for finding UK stuff by us OO types not in the UK. Thanks for your efforts. I found a "vehicle" link you may wish to add. I've built a couple of their kits and they're quite nice. See: ht...

If the grain of wheat are not to current hungry, you could set their brightness with the arduino, or introduce some gas flicker!

I think Flock has been around since day dot! Certainly from Javis and Hornby in the 70's and maybe earlier for less well known makes. Before that, the earliest boards were probably just painted, but at some point later, someone must have twigged that if you mix sawdust into paint and brush it on, yo...
