The last Climax I posted. Uploaded the frame to Sculpteo and it was only $30 to have it printed and cast in brass. I would probably do the rear tank in brass as well since it is right over the drive and also supports it. The rest I can print myself.

This is what is should look like when done.

Also thinking about casting front sideframes in brass and using a resin bolster so I can pickup power.

That is very reasonable for lost wax casting.  It will be interesting to see the product.

So I designed truck side frames to cast in brass, but then decided to use AZL GP7 wheels and redrew the truck for them.

I scaled everything up 1% as per Tom Knapp (who also models in Nn3)

8 side frames in brass $34.96
2 rear tanks $34.96
2 frames $62.22
Items $132.14
handling $6.61
shipping  $10.00  (says I will get them on July 8th (it is June 15th right now))
Total $148.75

Fingers crossed they come out good  :scared:

I got the 2 houses on the hill mounted with foundations.


And all the building plugs so they can be removable.


Maybe now I can start some scenery while I wait for brass parts.
