Thanks guys! I am not very active on the forums. My time is pretty limited, and I spend the free time I have building stuff. Let me know how they turn out, pics are always welcome

Cool *****!

Any chance of making dock bollards like this?  http://www.pacificmarine.net/images/marine-mooring-bollards/marine-mooring-double-bollard.jpg

Sure, no problem! I take it you have seen this double mooring bollard? I have pics of that one somewhere, but I have to look for them.

Yes, I have seen your bollards.  The style of bollard requested is the one I have seen in Oakland and Richmond CA.  I thank you for your time and your designs.

No problem, I'll make the set this weekend

@Spades : I made a set of 5 with the manufacturers' specification for a version about middle of the range they offer (100-125 tonnes bollard pull). They are about 10x3.4mm (or like about 5/12 x 1/8" for the non-metricians  )
See https://www.shapeways.com/product/HC827E86K/n-scale-5x-double-mooring-bollard-2
If you want I can make a set with a different number of bollards, but 5 looked like a nice random starting point

Thank you. Just saw this and placed the order.

In the long run I plan to build an intermodal crane. As a start I built a container spreader. It is designed to slide out to pick up 20-45ft containers, but that's still a bit of a challenge.

I made some more stuff for my new factory site extension:

- Tank car loading platform #2


- Loading booms for the platforms:


- Industrial relay cabinets:


- Cooling pump station

Hey everyone,

After spending the last 10 years tinkering with 3D modeling as a hobby, I finally took the plunge and set up my own website to share some of the miniatures and scenery items I've created -especially after the recent bankruptcy of Shapeways. It’s a mix of things like loading platforms, logistics equipment, industrial parts, pumps, motors, pipe connectors, and some fun N scale outdoor items like BBQs and fire hydrants. It’s been a really fun journey, and I figured it’d be cool to make these available for others who might be looking for something unique for their layouts.

It’s still growing, but I’m really excited about where it’s headed. Happy to chat about the process if anyone is interested, or share tips on 3D printing. I’m always tweaking things and learning more. Hope some of you find it useful!

Very nice! I am really glad you are able to offer your work again.

Very good news.

Excellent !  Glad I still have an outlet to get another Spring Grove crossing so ever the need arise again to replace it
