The final two images are of the model to date posed on a fellow SHMRC club members layout. The results were reasnoble with some blue overspray which proved quite a challenge to correct (weathering will help). To get the stripes I went back to the cad drawing a designed a stencil which I cut from Tamiya masking tape on the laser and was able to lay on the sides and spray thorough For the yellow I have used rail match sunshine yellow, the best colour match for the blue was NSE dark blue. The livery for the tamper is present day Amey Rail, yellow with a serves of the blue stripes on the sides. Skip forward a few months and with the construction broardly complete the model was given a coat of primer. Armed with a collection of parts the basic super structure went together very quickly. I also found assembly diagrams from an OEM parts supplier for the tamping head, so I was able to work from that information and photos both form Flickr, and DEMU members to produce a 3d cad model.įrom here the parts were cut out on my laser cutter. Being a similar outline to the 08-16 I took a copy and dropped it into AutoCAD and used it a s a template for the overall proportions. I started by scouring the web for any suitable plans and after much hunting arrived at the German language site for Kibri, where they have the instruction sheets for their DST.
I'd been given some auto ballasters for Christmas so thought a tamper would be an ideal candidate. The genesis for the project was a desire to build something quite different.
Those of you who are members of DEMU might have been following the project over there.

They are used to categorize your submission and make it easier to search for. Tags are keywords that get attached to your post. The only option is to use the Jetcal system with a water basedvarnish but you will have difficulty matching the background colour of yourdecal to the colour of your model as printing and paints do not produce anexact colour matchJetCal decal film is available from the Decal Paper Store ator e-mail them at"There is a bit more to it but is gets very technical.Hope this helps.Troy If you use water based varnishes it will giveyou a white background whilst if you want a clear background then usesolvent based varnish (asny white spirit based varnish will do)Once again I must advise that ALL methods of printing using computerprinters and laser copiers will produce transluscent or transparent graphicswhich will "disappear" if put on a darker colour except for black which isopaque. This is a bit I have copied from the questions and answers page.It's referring to Supercal decal film but I assume that most of them must be similar."This is another version of SuperCal decal film and requires the use of afinishing spray at additinal expense and you will find that unless you leavea large area of clear decal around the bit you want you will end up withragged edges to your printing.If you want a cheaper method of printing your own decals using ink jetprinters which does not have these problems and requires no finishing spraythen use the JetCal system.
