The GNR Howlden flat roof coach project

A fully updated CAD of the GNR Howlden flat roof Dia. 156 composite has now been made. I haven't tried printing anything just yet, but I also have to add the clips for attaching the roof and figuring out how and where to mount the return-springs for the kinematic couplings!

Because I got bored and haven't yet printed out a test chassis I started designing the 45ft chassis for the bogied 8 wheelers. And again because I'm too lazy to create new body modules I made a Dia. GN238 7 comp. third
   

Finally a new chassis prototype! Tomorrow I'll start printing the other parts such as the foot boards and brake rigging and so for now I only have the main chassis block. There are still some things to correct such as removing a lot of the supports s they made it completely impossible to remove everything cleanly, but the chassis still looks better. 

It probably won't be the final prototype as I still need to figure out how to mount the kinematic coupling springs and as of now I don't have them yet. Overall I'm incredibly please with the result. As I should given the fact that it took about 13 hours to print! and goodness knows how many hours It will take to sand, fill, prime and paint it!

Here are some images along with some other models for scale

I love the attention to details D9D 👍

Dia. 301 full brake and Dia. 281 4 comp. brake third

Its going to look great when the coach is finished. 👍
