3D printing model trains

93.1k winterro  2.8 years ago

As you may know, i realy wasn't that active o Simpleplanes for a while. That is becouse i found a new hobby, 3D printing HO scale motorised model trains. I am (if you have not already noticed) a railfan and love locomotives (especialy steam).

So, i wanted to show you what i was building these months.

my first locomotive

So this is where it all began, my first locomotive. Its fairly simple and you could already find the inspiration for it, if you have some brains. This one took 3 days to design and print and is not very fast driver. It doesn't have any flaws......... Exept the smokebox that falls of ocasionaly. *Fixed

Pensylvania O-1

So this is the Pensylvania O-1, i think it looks rather unique. Its a rather fast locomotive and tends to fly off the track a lot. I am happy with it and i might make more of pensylvania's electrics.

GWR- style locomotive

So i am currently working on this locomotive, i haven't printed it yet but i already think it looks quite handsome with looks

Color palette

Red= Frames
Orange= Body/wheels
