Please bear with me as this is my first post with a pic
This pattern was digitally modeled in Rhino4 and then 3D printed. Next this pattern will be molded in RTV rubber to produce Britannia metal production patterns. The Britannia metal patterns will be used to produce a vulcanized silicone rubber mold. The drivers will be cast in zinc-aluminum alloy. This is an experiment to come up with an easier and more cost effective way to produce wheels and drivers for G1. The prototype is an 0-6-0T shunting/goods loco. The model will be based on LBSCs Chingford Express but with some improvements I hope.
