    Greetings from New Orleans, interested in 3D printing structural components

    Hello all, and greetings from New Orleans. I volunteer at the Louisiana Steam Train Association - we're preparing to start the restoration of SP 745. I also have a baby expected in a few days, which led me to get back into G-scale modeling, a fond memory of my childhood. Since I'll be stuck...

    3D Printing for n-scale EMD F and E Unit pilot covers

    If any members have a 3D printer, or know of someone with one, I would like to engage your services to buy from you several n- scale pilot covers for EMD F and E units for the streamlined passenger trains of the 1940s and 1950s. At this time there doesn’t appear to be any available in...

    I 3D designed an N Scale Boxcab

    Having just recently finished assembling my Maintenance of Way train, I now have been faced with a new conundrum. What locomotive do I use to pull it? I'm the type of railfan that likes the obscure, ugly relics of the distant past. Horrendously outdated machines that have no right existing on...

    3d printing

    Hi all, I was wondering if anybody else is planning to use 3d printing as part of their model railroading. I've got a printer coming in the next couple weeks and I'm planning on using it to print parts for my layout that can't easily be located elsewhere. Or, the bigger problem, don't fit in...

    Do you use 3D printing ?

    Hi guys, Do you use 3D printing for your models and diorama ? I have a really good friend, Arin Panait, and I really like his work. I've attached some photos below, maybe you like it too :). Most of his builds are in O scale (1:43)

    Interested in model making and have been experimenting with 3d Printing Scenery

    Hi Everyone, I have not had much experience in the modeling world but I am interested in learning more. I am an mechanical engineer and have access to sophisticated tools such as 3D printers, mills, lathes and the like. My first project was a 3d printed female character for beach scenes...

    3D Printing coming to Staples.

    Someone posted this at another train forum and I thought it was worth mentioning here. Next year Staples will start offering 3D printing at their stores. The printer uses built-up layers of paper to make the object, so it's probably not capable of fine detail needed for body shells for engines...
