1:87 HO scale train depot with turntable

thingiverse

This project took me longer to print, than to design it. It is a modular train depot with a turn-table. It took me about 3 weeks of almost non-stop printing to do what you see. I still have some works on the turn-table and the bridge - it is designed to be controlled by a stepping motor and Adruino. I'm also finalizing the sliding doors for each cell, as well as the end buffers - files are missing at this point. I had some printing issues with the windows - afte 27 hours of printing and 1/4 roll of filament, I discovered, that some windows were damaged. I did not want to re-print the whole thing again, so I cut out all windows (100 pcs for a 10 cell depot) and designed separate window frame. Since I had a long a difficult paint job, It turned out better to have separete window frames, printed in different color - saved a lot of painting time. If you don't plan to make electric rotation and train movement, I guess, you could print it the way it is. Stay tuned as project goes on. http://www.3dprintrc.com
