WLLR Bolster

Latest Release - 13 Nov 2024 - Banwy Models

Finally, I can announce the major change for this year. I was recently contacted by Dave Gauntlett of Banwy Models. He has been a prolific designer of Welshpool & Llanfair stock which he sold through Shapeways. When Shapeways folded, he decided to call it a day and offered his designs to me to continue the WLLR work that I have been doing.

I have agreed to take them on, print them on my machines and make them available to buy.

I am immensely grateful that Dave considered me to continue his work.

As part of the transfer I am going to make a donation to the WLLR for every item sold.

The first 5 designs available are:

The list of models that are possible to release are below, always assuming they can be supported properly ona domestic 3D printer.


New Release - 12 Nov 2024 - Multiple Products

Torpedo and Shell vents

These vents are generic designs that could be used on any coaches. The torpedo vents are sized by the distance over the cones and the nominal centre diameter. They range from 4mm x 2mm down to 2mm x 1mm. The 4mm x 2mm ones have been used on 4mm scale coaches. The shell vents are sized by their nominal diameter and range from 3mm down to 1mm. 3mm or 2.5mm diameter vents would be suitable for 4mm coaches. It is about what looks right!

Lynton & Barnstaple Oil & Acetylene lamps available in 7mm

These popular lamps have now been made available in 7mm scale. They are the same design as the 4mm version and have a 1.5mm diameter spigot which can easily be removed if you prefer not to drill the roof of your coach.

Welshpool Pickering Bogies

New Release - 10 Oct 2024 - Welshpool Pickering Bogies

The latest release is a pair of Pickering bogies to complement the Worsley Works or Golden Arrow Kits

This kit contains sufficient parts to build two bogies to fit the Pickering coaches. The kit contains:

The etch has a tang to which a coupling can be attached. Tested with Worsley Works coaches the bogies can negotiate 18" curves with ease. Tighter radii can be negotiated by filing off enough of the print at the point where it fouls the coach superstructure. How much will depend on the radii required and the construction of the coach.
