S2 E26 Odds and Ends | Bexhill West Model Railway | Midland Railway drawings & 3d Printed Locomotive

Hello everyone, I’ve been really busy over the past few weeks, and this video should have been uploaded 3 weeks ago. In the video I look at some interesting old Midland Railway drawings, show some of my design work and thinking for a forthcoming locomotive project and hint at what’s in store for the next video. Despite the delay in the upload schedule, work has been continuing at a pace, and there has been some exciting progress with the lever frame, the mechanical interlocking system and the block shelf, the development of which has reached the point whereby I feel confident to embark on the full complement of 123 levers for No. 1 box at Bexhill West. I think the direction of travel of this particular element will be of interest to many and I hope to provide a detailed overview in S2 E28. The ballast vacuum system and point actuators are proving popular and I’ve been working on developments of those too, so hope to have an update on them in S2 E27. You can check them out at www.makeitminiature.co.uk Please bear with the upload delays, I’m aiming to get to a fortnightly upload frequency in the near future, but presently I’m at a point whereby the complexity of some elements of the project are just eating my time. It’s all good though and I’m enjoying every element which I have been working on, and looking forward to sharing them all. Thanks for watching, James
