Mason Bogie - Jellymodels prototype 1/87 9mm gauge


The Mason Bogie steam locomotive was an icon of the 19th-century American railway era. Designed and built by William Mason, its distinctive feature was its suspension design, which utilized a articulated bogie arrangement. This system provided greater stability and traction on the tracks compared to traditional locomotives of the time. The Mason Bogie was widely employed for hauling passenger and freight trains on long and challenging railway lines.



La locomotiva a vapore Mason Bogie è stata un'icona dell'era ferroviaria americana del XIX secolo. Progettata e costruita da William Mason, la sua caratteristica distintiva era il design della sua sospensione, che utilizzava una configurazione degli assi articolata. Questo sistema conferiva maggiore stabilità e aderenza sui binari rispetto alle tradizionali locomotive dell'epoca. La Mason Bogie era ampiamente impiegata per il traino di treni passeggeri e merci su linee ferroviarie lunghe e impegnative.




The prototype is made in 3D printing.

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Today, diesel box cab locomotives are still used in some industries, but have largely been replaced by more advanced locomotive designs such as the AC traction locomotive.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

Flat Car H0e- 3D printed


A small painted and weathering service trolley.



The base is a 3D printed resin trolley.


I applied the primer to the trolley and then the color red leather for the frame and sand for the flat.


After a coat of semigloss lacquer a thin layer of chipping fluid was applied. After that a coat of acrylic Neutral Gray Tamiya.
A few minutes after applying the Neutral Gray, chipping was carried out with a flat brush and hot water.
To protect the chipping work, a coat of glossy lacquer was applied.
With light gray I emphasized the paint scrapings and the protuberances of the trolley, like a dry brush effect but focused on some parts.
After making the texture of the wood on the sand color with various shades of brown, a dark brown enamel filter was added and the whole was sealed with the transparent satin lacquer.

Tipper Car H0e - 3D print

For now it's only a test, but it could be interesting to produce it in series.
The material used for 3D printing is a type of resin with the properties of ABS plastic. This material guarantees good resistance.

Climax Vertical Boiler - H0e/H0n30 kit


New JellyModels kit!

This freelance Climax locomotive kit is fully 3D printed,

with parts printed in ABS-like resin for the larger pieces and in high definition for the details.

The model is designed for use the Kato 11-105/11-106 /11-107 power unit.



"A Climax locomotive is a type of geared steam locomotive in which the two steam cylinders are attached to a transmission located under the center of the boiler. This transmits power to driveshafts running to the front and rear trucks." (Wikipedia)

Badoni MKII Narrow Gauge Version - H0e kit




This locomotive, built by Badoni company (Lecco-Italy) in standard gauge, was later converted to operate yard trains on narrow gauge railway lines.



The kit is in H0e-9mm gauge, made by 3D printed ABS-like resin to ensure greater resistance. The motorization comes from the range Narrow Garage.




The kit is simple and it’s very easy to assemble.

Achtung! Leichter Panzer Draisine Zgauge (1/220)



During WW2, the Germans developed a wide range of railway equipment for military use. Among these were the Panzer Draisine!

This is the first prototype, in scale Z (1/220). It's not the final version... I will probably change some too fragile details! 

In the future the version equipped with a PZIII turret will also be designed.

What do you think?

1/35- Sturer Emil Trumpeter Special Edition


Some photos from the Trumpeter kit of the Sturer Emil 12.8 cm with workable track links (special edition) that I started building 
...and I'm already thinking about what changes to make!
