Train Wall Art - LNER A4 Steam train

thingiverse

Wall art modeled after the LNER Class A4 steam locomotives. There were 35 of these steam trains made in life, designed by Sir Nigel Gresley. Six of them are still around today, and one of them; named Mallard holds the world speed record for steam trains at 126 miles per hour. They have a kind of neat history, I'd encourage you to look it up. This model isn't 100% correct, especially as they changed the styles of the trains throughout time, but it's largely accurate enough. The STL is usually the only file you should need, (unless you're printing in sections, then it's the Section STLs) but I included the Sketchup file and a gcode for an Ender 3 in case someone wants them. This is still a work in progress, I'd like to make a few aesthetic tweaks, etc. If you'd like to see a change, let me know. Update: added files for it to be printed in pieces. There are .4mm wide connections in some places that need to be removed after assembly, but it allows for printing it bigger; or printing on smaller printers. The 6 files titled Section are for this kind of print. Please share your makes if you enjoy this, I'd like to see.
