Portuguese N Scale Models

Hi @Tuga,

 

3d color printer is another MIMAKI thing, about flatbed UV printer I talk about something like this

https://www.mimakieurope.com/products/uv/ujf-7151-plus/

the only thing in 3D is the object instead of paper sheet that you directly insert in the printer tray for direct printing 😄

 

about decals sheet for laser printer I can' help you, for my Citizen Printiva I use the classic ink-jet clear decals sheet, the particular dry transfer ribbon use hot transfer head, but not so high temperature like a laser printer fuser drum

I'm tempted to order some of this

when my stock of printer ribbon will be end or the printer die, I will try with laser printer, but just for beta testing or simple things, like I told, is better to find a service like the link I wrote, they use professional printer that use also the white ink or particular RAL-Pantone, eg. the Lime Green forn the Alfa Pendular stripes, something that you can't do easy at home.

 

Ciao!

Wow!!!

Now I see what you mean with the Mimaki Flatbed LED UV Printer, that would make it so easy. 🤩

It's a shame that they want a minimum order of 150-200 pieces. I want 1, still left with 148 people to support it. 

Maybe you could start a Kickstarter crowdfunding project. 😊

Are you sure is N scale?  😳  I thought they only did HO.  

 

N or Ho it really doesn't matter,  still is worth to visit the Expotrens and see all the goodies. 😜

 

[Giugiaro]

Indeed, N scale models of the aforementioned rolling stock.

It's not easy to get a blueprint or any helpful documentation about the "Alfa Pendular". There is a lot of online videos that might be helpful but that means hours spent on searching.

For me the hardest part would be the paint work. I'm curious how would you approach the livery. Paint it fully? Decals/transfers? Any ideas?

@Tuga and/or @Giugiaro, I'm curious to know a little more about this CP set (I think is for this one that you search the CP2600 CIL 😋, right? )

what's more available in N gauge based on CP company?

I'm just curious, I don't wanna start another collection, maybe the only one I would try to reproduce will be the renewed "Alfa Pendular", (I still have enough Del Prado ETR for cut & paste) but before I have to find enough documentation like blueprint or similar)

 

ciao!

From this Sunday's Expotrens.

 

@Tuga have a look at this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Tuga]

WOW 🤩! 

 

That's a real treat Giugiaro!

 

Are all those n gauge?

 

Any information when they will be available?

All of the pictured vehicles are N scale models, both pre-production, production and mods.

 

The people from Arlo Micromodels still don't have a schedule for their production.
They are going through what Elon Musk described as "Model 3 production hell" with their overly successful H0 CP 1900/1930 and DF700.

Apparently, on Saturday, the Spanish showed up with this N scale train:

Those are the CP Serie 2000 Arco coaches. They were made by the defunct spanish firm Ferromodel as a set of 3 coaches (first class + second class + second class/bar).

Unfortunately the Renfe Serie 2000 Arco set of 3 coaches initially produced by this firm back in 2013/2014 did suffer from constant derailments, which lead to complains from clients.

In 2020 Ferromodel announced the CP Serie 2000 Arco livery set, but the project end up being scraped with only a few sample units being done. Soon after Ferromodel cease trading.

If you guys are interested, there is for sale one CP 1st class Corail coach (Arnold 3751) available in comboioselectricos in the used page, although the price is a bit steep (70 euros).

Thank you mate, but I already have my fair share. LOL

 

Giugiaro should be interested.

[Giugiaro]

I'm starting to think I should just 3D print my own.

[disturbman]

If you do, we request an "other project" thread documenting the process 🙂
