Pater PracticusI think I may be getting carried away with the cosmetic exterior detailing of #WagonCam. I've even worked out a way to do radius window surrounds and recessed grab handles in #tinkercad. #CAD #3dprint #TMRGUK
@themagpi With all the modelling done and code tweaked on my Pico powered level crossing lights (https://youtu.be/IupTxBROl1U?si=L3M2r0j3qmuGadQ2), I've started looking at sensors to trigger the sequence when trains are approaching. #MagPiMonday #MonthOfMaking #TMRGUK
Make your own realistic flashing level-crossing signs for your model railway controlled by a #raspberrypi Pico: https://youtu.be/IupTxBROl1U?si=YkxLV5paye-MxJPB #TMRGUK
QmodellerModelling activities have slowed to a crawl recently, but tonight I mocked-up the #Cadburys warehouse. This was fun - slicing up, folding and stapling a cereal packet!
All structures for this layout will be mundane, single story warehouses and industrial units.

#raspberrypi Pico controlled level-crossing lights now fully operational. Time to get some trains running by. #TMRGUK #stem #makers #modellers
The new D6300 looks right at home on the layout. Just trying it out to check it actually runs. Needs some fettling of the CVs, but that will have to wait.

Wishing all my fellow makers, modellers and menders a very happy #NewYear! @MagPiMonday #TMRGUK #2024newyear
This arrived today for my UK OO scale micro-layout - an Oxford Diecast Mk 1 Ford Transit. It’s quite a nice model and the D reg. plates make it a 1966 build.
I understand Transits were quite something when they were first introduced - and allegedly a favourite of criminals, as they handed better than many cars of their day!
I didn’t expect to find this in TK MAXX - £2.99 for a 500g bar of DAS modelling clay. I’ll be using this for my UK micro-layout. 👍
Tonight I’ve moved on from mulled wine to something a bit stronger! 😃
Ballasting has started - I haven’t done this for ages and the “fun” hasn’t diminished 😞
But on the +ve side I can now declare that work on the scenery has started 👍
