Description
Yesterday, I bought some 3D printing filament for my 3D printer so I continue making stuff for myself. Here is the start of my realistic/RWS Thomas for my NWR WWII layout "Tidmouth, 1940", which is set after an air raid on Tidmouth by the Luftwaffe. The locomotive is expected to be fitted with a chassis from a Bachmann Fowler 3F 0-6-0T "Jinty" but it turns out the chassis can't fit. I did it with another, more commonly used chassis pictured here and as you can see, it doesn't sit low enough.

This just tells me that the Jinty chassis would need to modified before it can be fitted to the body but in the meantime, I'll order a second hand Hornby chassis as a temporary measure until I can source the proper chassis.
