009 Hudson Tipper Truck Model Railway

thingiverse

Model of a Hudson Tipper truck. The bucket can be tilted or positioned horizontally. Printed in ABS at 0.1mm, PLA or resin should also work effectively. Solid construction with 100% fill is recommended, although loading at 20% fill is an option. Additionally required are two pairs of "N Gauge / 009" wheels on standard pointed axles and two Greenwich couplings. Clean the base to remove squish flashing and file inside wheel box and wheel openings for smooth running. Wheels should spin freely in axle box 'bearings'. Clean up flashing and clip angle on axle support, then clip over wheel axles to secure them in place. Assemble Greenwich couplings and glue them onto the upper surface of the base so that the loop hinges freely and the coupling face is just proud of the base edge. Adjust the height as needed. Ensure that bucket support tabs will engage with the base and glue them into position. Place the bucket across the support beams. File out layer grooves from the bucket and remove any supports (if used).
