Lots of the projects featured in my videos, or shared on social media, are supported by additional content, from 3D print .stl files to graphics for decals. They can be downloaded here for free if you'd like to use them in your own projects. In return I'd be grateful if you'd subscribe to my channel – and if you are really pleased, perhaps consider leaving a 'Super Thanks' donation to whichever video you saw them on.
Of course, the files remain my intellectual property, and are very much for your personal use, so please don't sell them on or use them for commercial gain.
Modelling a replica Network Rail Class 153 Inspection Train – complete with operational WiFi streaming camera for a driver's-eye view of your model railway layout.
As well as the electronics inside, the video will detail how to make the bodywork conversions to a standard Hornby 153, including window blanks and vents for the onboard generator.

Transform your old Lima Mk1 and Mk2B coaches by replacing the original - and very basic - moulded seating with my more detailed 3D printable interior.
Supplied in two halves to fit on most standard printers, you'll need to print both files to get the toilets on the correct side. Full instructions on the downloads page below.
Make your own Raspberry Pi powered WiFi network camera for a driver's-eye view of your model railway – all fitting neatly inside a 3D printed wagon body.
The .stl files for the 3 parts of the WagonCam body, designed to fit on a Hornby 4-wheel coach chassis, can be found on the link below.

To improve the performance of my Ender 3 Neo printer I developed these simple 3D printable items, using Lego pulley wheels to reduce resistance.
Filament Guide
For improved extruder entry angle from the standard top-mounted spool holder: https://youtu.be/tjDjBDWybcM?si=mVL2jqSDd8u2SCgW
Spool Bearing
Smoother spool rotation compared to the standard spool holder, especially useful fr the extra weight of a brand-new reel: https://youtu.be/RA564QUyI3s?si=_bGiPqAgLG8aj_wc
Put the finishing touched to your RaspberryPi Zero DoorCam https://youtu.be/_H4fB4Q3uik?si=BtpQZ0bcpm9PhJh3 with this bespoke 3D printable case.
Cut-outs are included for ZeroCam support and USB power cable, while vents provide cooling for the Zero's chip.
Recommended to be printed the right way up with 'tree' supports, which can be broken away after printing.
Here you can download the .stl files for my OO gauge model railway tunnel sections. Designed for R1 and R2 concentric track, there are portals for each end and two types of general section - with and without refuges to protect trackside workers from trains.
You can print as many sections as you require for the length of your tunnel and glue them together.
Load up your Kebab in style with the Pater Practicus Pitta Prop! Carefully designed to keep your pitta upright, while maximising the capacity for your fillings and allowing easy application of the sauce of your choice.
Just download the .stl file from the link below and print in whatever colour filament you fancy.
Recommended slicer settings: 1mm wall thickness with 40% infill.
(Note: my composite image above has been re-coloured in Photoshop and may not exactly represent available filament colours).
