Glad to see someone doing this in OO and industrial to boot. Had a few people doing this in N gauge for the old Minitrix Dock Tank loco, glad to see it in the bigger scale!

What a useful, affordable upgrade for these older locomotives! Well done!

Excellent idea this! The resulting loco you’ve got looks identical to NCB no9 at summerlee museum.

I like my Terriers too much to do this, but great video, thank you

Very interesting video Jen a slopping side tank version would be great.

This company never stops pleasing people does it 😂

entwins 3 d leads you to a shape ways site and at 41.99 pound plus postage i think its a bit rich for what it is

I happen to have the red Avonside Cadbury 1101 and I like it because to me it looked toy-like and qauint!

Jennifer, I have been checking out the older terriers for sale and they are still going for over £40, but I agree with your view

It’s a great world!! It’s not really the type of locomotive that I would want to have visiting my layout. And by the way, I find that strange little locomotive that you’re testing - or at least displaying - is certainly make an interesting locomotive for someone who likes industrial locomotives rather than passenger trains.

This is Fantastic, it’s nice to know that old locomotive chassis can get a new lease on life.
Also does anybody happen to know of any 3D printed G scale coaches/trucks?

[JamesPetts]

I approve of extra space for stay-alives.

It is a shame that these are currently only available in filament printed plastic ("white natural versatile"), although I note from Enwins' Facebook page that they are looking into alternatives.

hI Jen , have you seen TRIS'S excellent 3d printed 009 saddle tank ? It's really nice . Wales UK.

[michaelstevens]

Sandpaper and acetone to get a decent finish?
