YR - Kerry Wagons
May 27, 2020 : I wanted a new series of wagons to be pulled by the Sirdar loco, but was not sure how to make them. The Kerry Tramway was mostly built for transporting timber, so mostly flats with stakes is to be expected. I was experimenting w several different types...
YR - Sirdar drawing finished
May 24, 2020 : Finished the drawing for the Sirdar loco today. It is such a tight fit in the photon that I have to print the couplers separately! Observe, this is my interpretation of this loco type, not an exact clone this time.
YR - Sirdar class locomotive
May 22, 2020 : Got a bit further with the Sirdar loco this evening. Mostly cylinders and rivets everywhere left to fix now before first test print. It will be printed in 1/40 scale. The reason for that is the Sirdar class loco does not fit in my photon if printed to...
YR - Utö Grufva - Ore wagon
May 22, 2020 : I have been hatching on this idea for a while, today it happen! Utö Grufva (mine) is located in the Stockholm archipelago on Utö island. Once a very active mine, but when railways started to spread on the mainland they could not compete anymore. Trans..
YR - Avesta part 7 final
May 21, 2020 : Been a bit low on mojo for a while, but here comes final of the Avesta loco and her wagons. This time printed in Elegoo gray resin with no warping or shrinking at all...Must say the Fleischmann Magic Train steam loco chassis is ideal for an O&K loco in...
YR - Avesta part 6 green loco
May 09, 2020 : I already got my order of Elegoo Gray, still I keep battling with the water washable .... This is fourth print of the O&K loco, this time painted in green. I could just put the bottle aside with the water washable, and start using the gray instead. I ...
YR - Closed Van printed
May 08, 2020 : Got the van printed this morning. Also printed one more loco with a few details fixed. This loco will be green. I am perfecting the bogie now, axleboxes also needed a bit tweaking so the wheels fit perfectly.

YR - Avesta part 5
May 03, 2020 : Removed the supports from both locos today, finished painting and made sure they fit there chassis. The Deutz got just a tiny weathering this time.

May 03, 2020 : Here comes third print. This time I did the following : * Added one whole millimetre inside all walls, both cab and inside the boiler. * Added a grid kind of skeleton inside the boiler. * Added back the original floor in the cab. * Changed to strongest...
YR - Avesta part 3
May 01, 2020 : A few hours later even the second print warped..., no big surprise there. I added a layer of black just for the fun of it. Normally I would add braces and made walls thicker but it would either be in the way or make a lesser good model. But mostly, I ...
YR - Avesta part 2
May 01, 2020 : Here is second print of the Avesta locomotive in 1/35 scale. This time I put weights only on the support base, to hopefully keep it straight long enough to get painted and attached to the chassis. See last photos of the Atlas flat wagon I intended to.....
YR - Avesta in 1/35
May 01, 2020 : The MagicTrain steam loco has been on my mind as a donor chassis since they first came out. I have done a few attempts before, but not got any far until now. This is the same drawing I did about two years ago for ShapeWays and also used on my Koltorp ....
YR - WW1 pechot bolster painted
Apr 28, 2020 : Got some paint on today. Got pretty nice actually! Also got some warping again sadly. I do not want to, but will probably go back to the original Elegoo gray when current water washable is used up.
YR - WW1 pechot 3-axle bolster
Apr 25, 2020 : Mission for this weekend was to print some 0n18 wheels for my friend Hans, but since the machine was up and running I took the opportunity to print some more. First choice was these french WW1 pechot 3-axle heavy duty bolster bogies.
YR - Deutz GZ30B painted
Apr 16, 2020 : Couldn´t wait for a second print, painting is to fun .. Maybe I did overdo the weathering a bit .. ? The observant notice that the bottom of the loco frame has warped .. After wash and cure I did flush it once more in hot water, bad idea ...

YR - Deutz GZ30B in 1/40
Apr 15, 2020 : Haven´t touched this project since February this year. Finished it today, but in 1/40 scale for 12mm gauge (H0m) tracks (as in 500mm gauge in real life). It is printing now, more pics when done. It is now adapted for a Halling 12mm gauge motor bogie.

Feb 22, 2020 : Here is the BND30 tubs I uploaded to shapeways about two years ago. This is a complete new drawing adapted for 09 scale I made yesterday cause I got problems adapting the old one to to 9mm gauge. Just finished printing......
YR - BBA360 battery loco
Feb 22, 2020 : While waiting for the BND tubs to be printed, I did draw up this battery loco in 1:40 scale. It is made from original drawings, but adapted for the standard MiniTrains motor bogie. I bought two MiniTrains locos specially for this the 360 model and the...

Feb 16, 2020 : These guys are from Thingiverse. I printed them in 1:40 and 1:48, those two scales I am considering now for the Yellow Ridge project. I printed them in 0.01mm layer height which is a waste of time on these two, cause the print took over 24 hrs and the ...
YR - Deutz GZ30B mining loco
Jan 31, 2020 : 18 procent and no leaking, yet! Changed FEP again and started another print. After last weeks failure with the carolean gunners I am doing another trial this evening. When that was done I took apart first MiniTrains loco to be used for an 09 scale proj
YR - 09 adventures
Dec 28, 2019 : If there is a Guinness record for scale jumping, I must be high on that list .. but there is a reason, printing 1:27 scale on a resin printer (on a photon at least..) makes it pretty hard, even if divided in parts. Since I bought the resin printer I ha..
