Items to help in painting models
The North Staffs battery powered shunting loco is now preserved in the NRM in York. I felt that it would be appropriate to make a battery powered model of a battery powered prototype. The greater part of the loco is 3D printed, with a couple of N20 motors and wheel sets from Peter Korzelius (or you can print your own wagon size wheels).
This became the standard LNWR van from the mid Edwardian period up until grouping. They were used for traffic until the mid 50s at least, and some survived in departmental use for much longer. Note that it has been designed for resin printing on an Elegoo Saturn or similar. I don't know whether it can be printed on a filament printer (but let me know if you try!)

This is the short wheelbase version. The brake gear for this wagon is unusual as there is a small operating lever pivoted on a small bracket attached to the buffer beam and a connecting link to the centre brake gear pivot
