A good friend has been 3D printing things for his project. He had a couple of spare water cranes (Midland) and one found its way onto Shelfie2.

Quality photography there.
Would I be right in thinking Shelfie2’s egg end boiler water tank and base is also a 3-d print?

It is indeed from MS models. They do some cool stuff. This is the print which I’ve modified by turning the top steps through 90 degrees

Yep. Very cool.

Back from ‘Warnerly’ at the NEC where a cheeky few visits to Shelfie2 took place. A good show, building on the previous events and some really nice layouts there.
The layout threw a curved ball Saturday morning where a hidden solder joint broke after ten years!

A visitor at the NEC, an Accurascale DCc sound 57xx. Ran surprisingly well using DC only.

You do know that your not meant to use real photos.

I enjoyed watching Shelfie2 at the NEC...superb modelling.
I'm intrigued to your references to Shelfie3 ....do you have a track plan and any more photos yet?

Hi @Martin Gentle thank you re Shelfie2, I was genuinely surprised at the warm reception it got over the weekend.
Shelfie3 is WIP and despite running well and being fun to operate has not quite ‘popped’ in its presentation style which I’m still working on. There’s almost a books worth of thoughts, experience, experiments and I’m still not finalised.

This is a time lapse of a typical sequence, it’s three points, all large radius and depicts a truncated through station in the m62 corridor between 68 and 82’ish’. Primarily DMU operations with parcels and a very occasional oil train delivery reversal move. DCC conversion awaits, as does final Dingham uncoupling locations.

This sort of flavour.

This looks amazing, any more pictures please!

This one’s beginning to pop in natural light

I hope you don't mind me asking, but what re the dimensions of Shelfie3? Oh, and is there a trackplan available?
If not, I to see more in due course.

Sorry for late response! Full length is 11ft x18” 2x4ft 1x3ft board, the 3ft being a sector plate with four tracks.

The track to bottom right is the entry track, all others are dead ends

Dapols gorgeous 517, an early contender for locomotive of the year!
