- Is it possible to create amazing scale models using an inexpensive 3D filament printer?Well for a long time I was put off from getting a 3D printer as I couldn't see how it could be useful to creating scale models.
You will be surprised at what I discovered.......
Work of Art 👍
A really interesting watch. It's amazing the quality of the design can be brought to life with a 3d printer.
thank you. yes when designed well 3D models really can bring out the true 3D nature of real life items, the next step is to finish them by carefully sanding, glueing and painting and then adding a touch of weathering. I will be making some more videos shortly.
Hi Paul, thanks for sending me the link. I am impressed with the accuracy and diversity of the things you have done with a 3D printer. Very well done my friend.
Hi Jeff, thank you so much for your comments, its took a lot of work to get this far but I find designing and making things much easier now, look forward to making more videos. I have another loco in the pipeline which should be showing soon
Lovely locomotives 😍
Excellent work, inspired me to be more creative with my printer.
Thank you Andy, much appreciated. Yes give it a go, its worth the time and effort :)
Paul, this is brilliant 👏 👌
Authentic as it was entertaining.. very informative and enjoyable watch, all the best 👍
Thank you Paul for the kind comments, I am glad you enjoyed it
Paul, this is a wonderful creation that opens up all kinds of products from your 3D printer. Well done my friend, and keep moving in the right direction, (you can do all things with the help of our creator), cant wait to see your next step forward.
Thank you Tony. I’m not sure the direction this is going to go yet apart from making more very scaled and detailed models. 😃
Well done sir!
Thank you Robert:) it took a lot of work to get this far but its much easier now as I know what I am doing :)
This is an amazing model train Paul!! So cool it goings backwards!!!
Thank you Shannon. I really appreciate your feedback. It can also go at different speeds but for this really small model area I don’t try drive it too fast. 😃
There is one model I want which nobody makes in 0 gauge and aistsxa lorry.
This particular lorry would be popular with any modeller who models in the early BR nationalisation era,and suits all regions, I'm talking about the 3 wheel mechanical horse called the Scammell Scarab.
I can't believe that nobody has made one as they would were very common across all of the UK.
Very intrigued !!! .. looks absolutly awsome .. any new developments ? ..
I’m going to split this video as I think it’s too long for some to watch in one go. I will keep this video as it is and split it up based on different subjects. 👍
Very Good presentation Paul and an excellent model :)
Glad you like it
Thanks Mark
I have been 3D printing out O gauge over the last 6 years or so and it took a while to fine tune the printers good enough to do the job. I don't own one myself but work now has 3 machines ( 2 flashforge Creator Pro's and 1 Raised Pro2 ) I do print Australian NSWR Steam Era rolling stock and it beats paying big dollars for factory made stuff. I use Solidworks and then print from there. So much stuff can be printed with a 3D printer and it takes a little bit of practice but heck you can print some good stuff out for sure. I just finished printing out a model of a Komatsu 830e Dump truck scale 1:15 and weighed in at a whopping 16kgs. I printed out for work to go to a show for our stall.
This will be put up on the tube soon.
Well done on your project awesome job, especially the track system. What 3D printer do you use as I though about buying myself a Flashforge Guider to keep on printing at home. And the finish on some of the rolling stock is awesome.
Cheers and keep it real

I've printed all my rolling stock and a few loco's, but i'd gone with Peco rails to ease flexibility, as it's nice to take my stock out for a run and not need to worry about compatibility, as well as being able to accept visitors. I also use metal wheels which does mean a few aren't as detailed, but the weight and reliablity is much improved- my plastic wheels i made a few years back didn't come out nicely, too much friction
you've gotten a great finish on things though, but it must take hours of work to get them so polished- i do budget wagons mostly which are much quicker and my Ender 3's can do a decent finish on standard
i have a few low quality videos on my chanel if you're interested
Thank you Skog, I found as long as I make sure the plastic wheel treads are smooth and I use brass axels and ensure they spin freely in the plastic model axelboxes. I will have a look at your channel
nice video i like the 3d model railway
Thank you very much!

Thank you Maelee. That’s why I have a funny accent 😂, I’m so pleased you enjoyed watching this
I Built An LBSCR E2 Tank Engine On Tinkercad, And Im Wanting To 3D Print It For Ho And G Scale
I Hope I Can Do It Once I Get The Chance..
Is it also possible to build a rebuilt and unrebuilt bulleid pacific that can run outside and pull up to 40 wagon loads? with a 3d printer
