Does anybody know where I can find a brass TALL sand dome for my Frisco decapod? It's a great loco but it has the shorter sand dome. I have the parts to make the rest of it Frisco but I can't find the proper sand dome. Thank you!
I think you are going to have to form up one out of balsa, then make a casting from plaster. Are you scratch building, or modifying an already built loco? Friend of mine is building a bridge and needed to cast footers - he made a wood pattern, cast it in silicon for a mold, then poured in plaster.
TIM - The 2-10-0 has always been my favorite Locomotive. I would like to see some of your progress as I have an O scale interest too! I don't care how it currently looks - I want to see it?
I am specifically interested in what you used for an O scale Frisco coonskin numberplate. I have not been able to find that in O scale. Thanks,
Here is something I'm just getting started with. I only need the coonskin but I had drawn this up to print on my filament 3d printer but it just couldn't print that small. SO- I got to looking into a liquid UV resin 3d printer. I took a chance and bought one. I can use the same .stl files I had drawn for the filament printer. Though my drawing was not finished this photo shows the result of the print. I am hooked! I have printed many parts now and the only drawback is finding the best way to secure them to styrene. The detail is unbelievable!
Yes, it is O scale. I'm going to scale a few drawings down to HO scale and see what happens. Stay tuned........
Iwas going to suggest plain old GOO or maybe even JB WELD. I just purchased a tube of this from eBay: PACER GLUE PAAPT12 Zap Goo, 1 oz I have not yet tried it on anything?
The marker lights would work for switch stand lights too. The marker lights are made to accept the M.V. Products 2.4 mm (.096") lenses.
