Model Updates - NZ120 F class, NZ120 H class (Fell) & NZ120 Ab Class

Both the NZ120 F & H class have been updated with smoother curves to hopefully produce a better result. Both models are now uploaded to shapeways & replace their previous versions.

A wee video of a DC & DA hauling the express around the updated layout.

This video shows the DC & DQ doing a loop light engine, Showing the last of the old bridge

H Class

The H Class is now almost ready for a test print in NZ120. Very close to doing the entire underframe & detailing so that it can be a static display piece until i can somehow power the thing. 

Finally some movies of the steam locomotives actual running, The ab & wab were painted by Russ @ Trackgangproducts. The J on the other hand was painted by myself, but know where i went wrong. I have 2 variants of the J incoming so might focus on doing them properly!

I setup 2 loops on a flat table & even went to the effort of  cutting a nice polystyrene bed for the track & quickly had 2 trains running.

I found an old video shot Feb 2012 & shows 2 partially scratch built locos, streamlined J & WAB both now building dust somewhere. Their value dropped the second the 3d prints arrived I reakon. But here's the video shot now a year ago!
