I've been back to 3d design and printing. I've revised my gondola design. The body is thicker which, while not realistic, gives the model more weight than the old designs did. I also thickened the floor piece a little.  I'll have some new designs coming up. I'm also going to list and sell my designs over on Cults 3D. They won't be too expensive: $3 for freight cars and maybe $5 for passenger cars. When I make the listings public I'll start a separate thread over in the buy/sell/trade section. I'll post there as each model goes live. Let me know as I go along if there's information you'd like to have about the models. |

This is really awesome! And I don't think Micro Trains is making these anymore, I heard the mold to make them broke?
Cool your making these!

I have two more new designs that I'll be running either later this year or early next year. I redid my fluted passenger coach. It's only 80' scale feet, but that made the math easier.  The other is a scale 80' UP-style coach.  I plan to offer these at Cults 3D. I think I'll upload them next week. I also have a few more passenger cars that I've printed and painted that I'll share. And my next video should be out this weekend. |

I have two new passenger car designs. They'll have to be in two posts. Not sure when I'll run these in videos, but I would like to. First is a streamlined & fluted baggage-coach car based on a Santa Fe prototype:   |

The other is a streamlined & fluted side 10-6 sleeper:   Both of these cars should also go up as designs in my store on Cults 3D. My next model railroad video will be out tomorrow morning! |

I have three new cars I've made that I want to share. I have a 36' double-sheathed boxcar, a flatcar, and a bay window caboose. I like how the prints turned out, especially the caboose. I plan to offer these designs at my Cults 3D store, probably next week. They'll also feature in one of my videos for this month. (The other will be about the new passenger cars I've made.)  |

I decided to design & print a wood baggage car. I also decided to try putting on Archbar trucks. It runs well, along with the coach that I switched the trucks on. I'm going to put Archbar trucks on the combine, and print up one more coach. That way I can have some variety in running passenger trains with those cars.  |

I designed and printed a 4-window caboose and a center cupola caboose:   There might be some caboose running in an upcoming video. |
