Continuous Welded Rail Train Build: A study in 3D printing

[trainsdownunder]

I have listed this under General as the build is HO rather than N - mods please move to 3D printing if you feel more appropriate.

Link to a fascinating project in 3D printing. The videos show the finished result of some serious dedication to reproducing a prototype.

Reading the title I was expecting a fully printed train...

I was pleasantly surprised to find the builder used appropriate materials and techniques for each component

Best regards

So good to see a real use for those pesky bogie flatcars (and that includes the British ones) that are so light that they blow off the track every time my budgie fa flaps his feathers

Lovely bit of modelling

btw

If you replace the Farish freightliner flats with the etched brass ones from Allen Doherty (Worsley Works) you'll be safe feeding your budgie on curry again
