Fooling Around with Kiwi Trains: Adventures in 3D Modeling & Featuring 1:120 - 1:2 Scale : N, HO, O, G, 5inch, 7.25inch & 15inch Gauges! No Ads, Just Some Nutty Tales from Peter Bryant @ Portland Railroad, Northland NZ If the image has a star on the bottom right corner then its modified with AI and shouldn't be taken seriously.
Simple design of a 1:87 NZR LPA Wagon I drew up for my brothers NZR HO layout.
Should be able to make a decent rake quite cheaply, this file can be found here if you want to try it out for yourself. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5441795
Designed for Hornby wheels & Kadee couplers. Body and chassis should friction fit together.
This weekends project is mainly revolving around the R class single Fairlie articulated locomotive, i'm using a rather basic plan that at least shows the pivot points. last night before finding some good pictures I drew up & 3d printed a basic shell to work out what's possible in terms of fitting a small motor & worm using an HO diesel truck drive & trickery. The rear wheels were taken from a hornby 4-4-0 I purchased on special specifically to try out the TTS sound chip which now resides in my 1:24 pecket. The rear wheels both pickup track power, just need to produce the side frames & bogie mount point.
