Sat, 2019-06-22 05:55 — Graffen

My good friend 3D printed my own designed Arch bar trucks. He has a Anycubic Photon, and these are printed with the new waterbased resin.

I use Kadee HOn3 wheelsets.

Seattle Viaduct - 3D Print

Fri, 2019-06-14 18:04 — mdlafond

My layout includes a bit of downtown Seattle. As such, I just HAVE to HAVE the Viaduct. Found this great 3D file on Thingiverse, scaled it for 3 lanes, and actually got it to print on my Printrbot Play. I’ve probably got about 30 of these to print.

The Great 3D Printed Reading T-1 4-8-4 Challenge

Sat, 2019-05-25 08:15 — AndreChapelon

It’s downright amazing what you can find if you look hard enough. There is someone out there who has the basic printings, courtesy of Shapeways, to make an HO scale Reading T-1 4-8-4 if you’re so inclined. There’s even a gearbox cover printing available, although you’ll have to supply your own gears, not to mention motor, wheels, rods, valve gear, etc. All this for the grand total of $567.22 without shipping. My recommendation for drivers is Greenway.

DT & I Large Scale Boxcar Weathering Project (Work in Progress)

Sat, 2019-05-18 15:50 — Craig Townsend

After the success of weathering my first large scale boxcar back this winter, I decided to tackle another long forgotten project. Years ago, another large scale modeler Brian Brigg's passed away. He was a excellent modeler, scratch and kitbashing large scale projects.In the following post, I will explain some background and get into the model.

Here are some links to some of his projects.
