From the very rear of the Marx fire engine to the back of the cab, near the fire extinguisher, is 195mm and 111mm wide. The overall length of the truck including bumper is 305mm... for research purposes of course.would you mind taking a quick measurement of how long the portion used on the trumpton fire engine is?
for research purposes
thank you, turns out i was only 5mm off from my estimate!
Gosh you did well with your estimate.
Thank you KevinD. I'm annoyed with myself now as I had estimated them at around 72mm so my 'egg' boxes, pallets and milk churns are probably a little on the large side. Hey ho.
Yes please, that would be great thank you. A 3D printer is my next early birthday present to myself. So many makes to choose from.
ah sorry for the late response, here’s the files Thomas Tripp’s Milk Float (Camberwick Green) by DrMopp1966
Many thanks, good timing as I've now bought the 3D printer I promised myself. I've used it to help create some lamp posts to go with the Trumpton fire engine I've made.
Oooh, that was a good bit of detective work.
now THAT is absolutely brilliant!!
Thank you. Gosh you really have been busy. I would definitely be interested in your helicoptor and army truck designs. I bought a 'Helicoptor with Active Pilot' a couple of months back and have been debating how best to create the cab ever since. The Army truck, again would be great as I've not even looked at that yet.
oo lovely! since you've got the helicopter already I'll just send you the cabin piece (eventually, still need to export it)
I agree an entire 3D printed building is probably a bit too much. But I've cut out some ply Trumpton house fronts with 3D printed doors, letterboxes, door knobs, window frames etc to attach to them. Once painted I'm hoping to re-create the street scene for the fire engine.

Thank you ArtBoy54 for access to your 3D files, I can see you have put an awful lot of effort into creating them. 'Pipin' typo well spotted, you've certainly done your research!here you go dave, files for both the helicopter cabin and the army truck!
Camberwick Green Helicopter Cabin by DrMopp1966
a replica of mr dagenham’s helicopter cabin from camberwick green. this is designed to be used in conjunction with the ‘helicopter with active pilot’ tin toy as per the original prop.the description of the army truck includes some rudimentary instructions for completing the model,Camberwick Green Army Truck by DrMopp1966
a replica of the army truck from camberwick green. this model is made to the scale of the original prop and is thus extremely large, and may require slicing into sections to print. the model can be finished with 3mm wire for the windscreen frame, and (if using the 3d printed wheels) 5mm wire cut...
and here’s some pictures of it to save the trouble of looking up references for all the little symbols and so on

(on the back of the prop it says ‘PIPIN FORT’ instead of ‘PIPPIN FORT’. I changed it on the model because I don’t like it-)
To that end, I'm thinking the helicopter cab is probably best printed when orientated on its back with tree supports to the inside front edges. I'm pleased it looks like it'll just fit on the Bambu A1 build plate.
ohh interesting, i’ve only ever been able to find one picture of that one before now. i believe the one used in the shows was the ‘cattle truck’ variant
The seller has withdrawn the listing however if you Google: 'vintage rosedale tipper truck lorry large 25 inches' you can still see the main image used. However, for research purposes, I have kept a complete copy of the photos that were posted in case they might prove to be useful. I don't really want to post them here as there are around a dozen of them. Is there a way I can get them to you?
you could send them to me on discord if you have that, (my username is the same as on here, just all in lowercase)
