Narrow Gauge Box Cab Locomotive - 0n18

 0n18 BoxCab Locomotive  1/48 - 9 mm

A box cab locomotive is a type of train engine where the cab or driver's compartment is enclosed in a box-shaped structure that is attached to the body of the locomotive. This design allows for better visibility for the driver and easier access to the controls.

Diesel box cab locomotives were first introduced in the mid-20th century as a replacement for steam locomotives. They quickly gained popularity due to their higher fuel efficiency, lower maintenance requirements, and more reliable operation. The diesel box cab locomotive uses diesel fuel to power its engines and move an electric generator, which powers electric traction motors that turn the locomotive's wheels.

These types of locomotives were used for a wide range of applications, from hauling freight and passenger trains to serving in industrial settings such as mines and factories. 

Today, diesel box cab locomotives are still used in some industries, but have largely been replaced by more advanced locomotive designs such as the AC traction locomotive. Nonetheless, they remain an important part of the history of rail transportation and a fascinating subject for railway enthusiasts.

I made the 3D model in two versions H0e and 0n18.
The 3D models and prepared to use the TM-TR02 motorization.
The engine and cart will be separated from the Tomytec chassis and fit into the 3D printed lower chassis of the locomotive

>>You can buy 0n18 version on the Shapeways shop!<<

Harbor Layout Part2- Bricks Piers Painting

I painted the bricks with different tones. I did it to differentiate the tone of each brick (as in reality).

I darkened the edges of the bricks with Tamiya black.

Finally I painted the walls with airbrush and Tamiya colors, recreating aging and dirt on the wall.

O&K passenger car 3D studio

This is a narrow gauge four wheeled covered passenger car, suitable for animal or light locomotive traction produced by Oresnstein&Koppel (O&K-approx. 1910)

This will be the first passenger car produced by Jellymodels!

VDump Car Painting&Weathering Recap- 0n18 (1/48)

This is the 3D printed prototype of the Vdump car of JellyModels:

After spraying Tamiya primer, I painted it with rust tones:

After paint drying I sprayed the model with AK Heavy Chipping liquid:

On AK chipping liquid layer I painted the surface with acrylic black:

Once the color is dry, with a brush and water I scraped the black color:

I finished everything with Vallejo acrylics (rust tones) and various filters and pigments:

Model built by Katsumi Yamamoto

Thank you!

Freelance shunter On18 1/48 9mm gauge

Work in progress of new JellyModels freelance tractor! 

This model is made with SLS ( Selective laser sintering)

 technology, but is available with other technologies!

The painting was made with Talken (black) and Tamiya (Nato brown) colors.

Industrial loco DL2 (Plymouth) 0n18 scale W.I.P.

First step: the design

Second step: 3d printing and cleaning of the support material (with Tamiya Laquer Thinner)

Third step: paint with primer Tamiya

Then, wishing to do new experience, for the first time I used colors for polycarbonate of Tamiya (aerosol)... the result surprised me, the semi-gloss finishing is perfect and extremely resistant to handling! 

I experimented these colors also without the primer layer, the result is good in any case.

What is missing now is finishing and weathering!
