Hi all,
As I suggested in another thread, I was thinking of creating new models that do not exist yet on the Z market.
I have few projects in mind (large roundhouse, passenger platform, cars, and other details). Some of them may be ready to be produced (and not only for my own layout!).
My plan is to work on 3D-printed models, starting by designing them after many hours of research!
Then I want to produce them in limited quantities (I'm not a factory!), 25 units max for large projects like the following one.
But first I need to be sure that it is feasible, so I need to be sure that some of you may be interested in getting one of this models.
Then I can buy appropriate printing equipment to get the testing and production started!
So, here is my first big project: a large passenger station!
I couldn't imagine the legendary CZ passenger trains that will come soon (?) without a decent and large enough station!
This station is largely inspired (not to say a simplified and reduced reproduction) from the Union Train Depot in Salt Lake City in the 50s.
Footprint is L: 42,6cm; W: 14,8cm (back stairs included); H: 13,8cm (front) and 14,9cm (back)
It is designed to fit on 2 level floors: the back of the station is one floor lower than the front.
The 3D model is ready (see my drawings), a little bit of work is necessary to prepare each separate parts for printing and some testing of course , but 99% of it is ready
It will need to be painted. Window glazing will be included. A second UP logo will also be included (option for the back side).
Hope you like it!
(Dont' pay attention to the Copyright symbols on the drawing!)
Would you be interested? I'll need at least 10 serious requests to start the project! (I won’t ask for money until the first one is being released with success. If successful, I will sell them one after each other)
The starting price range would be about 175€ (less if I get more than 10 serious demands).
