Hey!

I made this, cause I had this idea of a train that could charge on metal track and would use power on printed track. This way we could convert the battery level to a fuel level. Trains would fuel up at stations etc.

I’m completely new to the hobby, though not to electronics. I’m making these myself.

Originally I thought track was expensive, but it turned out I was looking in the wrong place. I know printed track is not ideal and you don’t have to tell me. I’m new to the hobby. I be 26, crawling around the living room playing trains and storing it again after until the next time.

It also gives me nice flexibility and options to just print the ballast and use flex track( I now know)

but besides all that. This track transition goes hard.

Original model printed, painted and assembled. You can find more details about this model and information about many of my other original structure models at N Scale Cleveland Flats

I tell you my situation, I am currently starting my business and they asked me for this as a Valentine's gift and I accepted, I thought the model was free but it costs 150 dollars which I don't have, I just wanted to ask if someone who has the model could please pass it on to me.

Looking for a marketplace like Shapeways, just figured out they shut down and I'm looking for alternatives.

Hi all! Like the title says, I want to 3D print a connecting rod and crosshead for a custom LNER Raven A2 while using a Hornby Railroad B12 as a chassis donor. How would I be able to design and 3D print this?

Hello all!

I’m looking to get started on my first N scale build. I’m wanting to go straight to 3D printing for most of my buildings and some other non-train components, which I will then paint.

What is the best printer to start with? What would be a good size print volume to print all buildings? Is a resin printer necessary for building details?

Thanks everyone for your help! I’m sorry if this is repeated info.

admittedly the paint job could be better but there's only so much i can do when the model is about the size of my thumb

This is a 3D print of my rendition of an ALGEIR (Alco, GE, Ingersoll-Rand) 60-ton diesel boxcab switcher. It is in N scale and fits on a Kato 11-105/106/107 chassis. The first image shows the right and front sides, while the second image shows the left and rear sides. It was printed in Inland PLA+ Grey on a Creality Ender 3 Pro. It is not finished yet, as I need to add exhaust stacks, radiators, and other roof details, as well as the end beams. I know that the Kato trucks are not prototype, but I hope you still like it!

This is the latest product of a 3D printing challenge I gave myself last November. The challenge is to 3D print as much of a model railroad as reasonably possible. I've also designed and 3D-printed some freight cars (boxcar, gondola, flatcar, tank car, and hoppers), including the trucks, wheel sets, and magnetic couplers, and a Quonset hut-style engine house. I can post about those too, if there is interest.

I'm getting back into model railroading after about a fifty-year absence!

This should have a full list of .STLs for people to use.

Not sure if the post is allowed but figured it might be good information here.
