Ikea / Brio Electric train with 2xAAA battery power and animated pistons

<p>This model uses the commonly available 2 axle motor and gearbox &nbsp;found on Ebay. &nbsp; I have made it so it is powered by 2 AAA batteries and it uses a mico miniature switch for on/off. &nbsp;My design has animated pistons and features large wheels with traditional spoke designs. &nbsp;Grooved drive wheels allow for rubber band tyres for grip. &nbsp; A hitch can be printed and glues in the desired position. &nbsp;I used mini magnetic balls for the hitch. &nbsp;It will pull nicely &nbsp;and if a weight is added to the front in the cutout (I used a 10mm ball bearing) then it will easily climb up inclines. &nbsp;I printed it using PLA+ silk filament and I would suggest using support below the axles.&nbsp;<strong> Instructions for assembly</strong> are similar to my Youtube video for my 2nd model so watch that one. &nbsp;Inspiration for all 3 models comes from what others have made and published but I has entirely designed these 3 models using ProDesktop 8 and Tinkercad. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Model 1 with gears</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/U7hfnQzM6BQ"></oembed></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Model 2 for instructions&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/iFmnzGHUvbo"></oembed></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With pistons model 3&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/2KFFOk0XOxs"></oembed></figure>
