Can you help the Southwold Railway Trust

Our aim is to recreate the old Southwold Railway, which closed in 1929, so that local residents can experience the thrills of steam railways

The latest 7mm scale 3D resin printed parts are for a GWR Dean 6ft 4in wheel base passenger coach bogie and a test solebar for a LNWR wagon solebar. I'm really impressed with how they came out. :)

These are the latest prints from my 3D resin printer, springs and axleboxes for Cambrian Railways 4-wheel passenger coaches, Mansell wooden wheel centres and the wheel centres for a Cambrian Railways locomotive. I think they look great.

It was nice to pop down to the Vale of Rheidol Railway for the Welsh Railway Research Circle book launch for "Cambrian Railways Drawings Part 2: 1893-1922" and have a chat with the other members. You can find the book here https://wrrc.org.uk/online_sales/books.php, also available at Vale of Rheidol Railway and Talyllyn Railway book shops.

My great great grandfather was a very talented man and his skills still run in the family.

Sorry for the lack of progress posts to my page, I've been having issues with mobility since last September and in the last few weeks this has improved thanks to a steroid injection into my right ankle joint, under x-ray.
A new resin printer has arrived and does magnificent work detail, and is being tested/learnt by me at the moment.
I haven't released any 3D printed wagon kits or parts yet as the 3D filament printers couldn't hit the detail levels I wanted, but this new resin printer solves. More news to come soon., thanks for your patience.

Well done Cambrian Heritage Railways

23/01/2026

This is progress after a week of starting the project for a Scale 7 competition called 777 "Sir Lamiel" and the King Arthur legend. 7 square feet maximum, minimum of 7ft of track in 7mm scale, 33mm gauge. I've chosen the Cambrian Railways as they had small coaches, and locomotives plus the companies line passes my garden. To date I have the plywood structure from a previous project, coach sides marked out for construction, locomotive frames marked out and the driving wheels ready for 3D printing. I now have plenty of wagon drawings and they too will be drawn into 3D for printing kits. Plenty to do and get on with, and might be exhibiting progress later in the year, fingers crossed.
