Summary

Some time ago I published my Thames river barge:
https://www.printables.com/model/395615-oit-thames-river-barge-1-148

But what is a barge without a tugboat isn’t it? Fortunately, in the same book we found plans of the barge also lines and GA-plan of the tugboat Engadine were published. So here is the corresponding 3D-print model. For painting purpose, I made some more details as separate parts. Some a very delicate to handle. Especially the position lights I kept and painted attached to the support until the very last moment otherwise the posts would have been broken for sure.

The model contains some options:

  • Funnel may be long (steam engine) or short (diesel engine)
  • Wheelhouse top may be open, covered with tarpaulin or hard top
  • Hull and bulwark may be printed separately (for better painting or in one peace (the print in two pieces I would recommend only for larger scale like OO)
  • The entrance hatches are printed separately to paint them different and glue them in open or closed position as you like. There is a boatman that may just exit the deckhouse.

I enclose some pictures how I supported the prints. Hope it’s helpful. If you like, print and built this model, please publish a make. Hope there is someone, who has use of this model for his layout or diorama.

Model is sized for British n-scale (1:148). Conversion values:
Continental N-scale, 1:160 -> 92.5%
TT-gauge, 1:120 -> 123%
HO/H0-gauge, 1:87 -> 170%
OO/00-gauge, 1:76 -> 195%
S-gauge, 1:64 -> 231%
O-gauge, 1:48 -> 308%

Note: Going more into details the designs are more difficult to print. My designs are oriented on resin print. Some experience and a well-adjusted printer/resin setting is assumed. For beginners in 3D-printing I strongly recommend starting with simpler designs or scale up these models to larger scale.
