Titfield Thunderbolt Bell, bespoke part for Richard Swiderski
I was asked by Richard to produce something for his Rapido Titfiled Thunderbolt Model. True to my self I thought one of those big bells like on the front of the American steam engines should not be a problem! John sent me a couple of photos, one of which shown here
What I came up with....
This is what I came up with, I made a few samples thinking that being so tiny it would not print the fine detail and the strings holding up the bell, but to my surprise they printed just fine. I ten tried painting one and removing from the fine supports, this would show if it would survive removal. In this case it did but it was a tedious jiob. By the way, the ruler marks are millimeters!
Even i am taken by surprise
Richards model finished
So here is Richards fine handywork fitting the bell into the Brake Van, just like the real thing. I have to truly admit that this looks far better than I envisaged. Thanks to Richards input this item far exceeds my expectations and shows what can be acheived with a bit of effort.
