Let Phase 3 Commence

Phase 3 is about populating our Thornycroft Sidings layout with flora, vehicles, people and factory materials about the yards.

First up is an A3 class, six wheeled, flat bed lorry (actually second up because an A1 class Dunlop van was made earlier). The A3 was introduced in 1926 and could carry loads up to 50cwt.

Here is an unkind photograph of this very small model (about 40mm x 12mm x 17mm). The roughness is less noticeable at normal viewing distance.

Designed using FreeCAD as a kit of parts and then 3D printed, like the A1.

As with the A1 Dunlop van it will be set into a cameo scene on the layout that reflects that shown in a period photograph of the full size lorry. This will be the subject of a future posting.
