Blue Plastic Tracks

not sure if this is the right place to put this, but i’ve made some body shells to fit on Tomy Train chassis which i thought i should share :p

first up is this tanker, it’s a tanker all right


next is this toad brakevan, with a removable roof so you can sit your little dudes in there


now an engine (wowie) and it’s an 08 shunter, for all your 08 shunter needs


last in this section is a bagnall 0-4-0ST, also bill and ben i guess lol 


these four are all available to print on thingiverse!!

but now here’s my favourite i’ve made so far, bessie from chigley!! and a lil lord belborough too


and lastly here’s some WIPs in various stages of completion, see if ya can take a guess at what they are :0





ok that’s everything bye lol

Those are some fine looking shells DrMott...welcome to BPT's 😃

thanks! i’d love to 3d print some of them eventually (bit tricky just now since i don’t have a 3d printer)

lol...yes...that would be tricky 😁

1. No idea
   
2. River Esk (Rex)/River Mite (Mike)
   
3. Stirling Single (Emily)
   
4. LB&SCR D1

3 and 4 are close but 2 is waaaaay off the mark

There's already a Gordon in that range and his shell is longer than that second one, so I thought it looked too squashed to be an A3 or other LNER class (despite the double chimney and what looks to be a banjo dome).

Could the Single be a GWR 3031 (Dean/Achilles)? The protruding firebox and lack of sandboxes (?) near the splashers seem to indicate that. How did I get it wrong when it seemed the easiest and most obvious of all?

For the fourth one: good thing I didn't guess a Haydock Foundry well tank (Sonny) due to the smokebox shape alone. The tank, cab and bunker shapes remind me of an A1 Terrier, but the smokebox more closely resembles a D1's (a class I never knew existed until now).

there ya go!!
flying scotsman, dean single, and an A1 👏
the first one is a bit tricky so i’ll tell you, it’s lion / the titfield thunderbolt. i love the film so i thought it would be a fun challenge to give it a go! 
(i’ve already made a thunderbolt shell for regular trackmaster if anyone’s interested, designed to fit on a whiff chassis https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6098752)

I'd also love to make Toby, to sort of complete the season 1 gang, but I've no clue how I'd pull it off because of the sideplates
