1867: The Railways of Canada boardgame boxes

thingiverse

After using my custom-made tile tray designs for several months, I decided to give them a major overhaul and add some features to make them more user-friendly:\r\n\r\n1. **Rounded trays** -- All of the trays now feature rounded corners and edges that make them a joy to use.\r\n1. **Secure lids** -- All of the trays now come with snap-fit lids that are easy to separate, but lock into place, to prevent accidental spills.\r\n1. **Redesigned hex trays** -- The redesigned hex trays and lids work together seamlessly to keep tiles from sliding around, while still being easy to open and close.\r\n1. **Improved token trays** -- Now with fillets in the compartments, these trays make it a breeze to access your tokens.\r\n1. **Smaller tray designs** -- The newer trays are designed to be easier to remove from the game boxes, making setup and cleanup a snap.\r\n1. **Refactored models** -- Creating new design models is now faster and more efficient than ever before.\r\n\r\nI will leave the old models up for historical reference and comparison, but I highly recommend using the newer designs.\r\n\r\n***\r\n\r\nRecently, I acquired a copy of [1867: The Railways of Canada](https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/227143/1867-railways-canada) from All Aboard Games. As you might expect by now, I put some elbow grease into organizing the game components. I ended up with a set of custom trays with lids that fit perfectly in the original box. This makes setup and cleanup a breeze, and keeps all of the parts organized even if the box is turned upside down.\r\n\r\nI believe these trays would also work for [1861: The Railways of the Russian Empire](https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/23817/1861-railways-russian-empire), since it's largely the same game, in the same size box.\r\n\r\nThe first step was to design tile trays similar to my previous 18XX trays. 1867 uses high-quality laminated card stock for its tiles, which are otherwise the same size as 1830 tiles. The 1867 box is larger than my other 18XX games, so it can handle trays that hold up to 15 stacks of tiles. I ended up with two sizes of trays: one that holds up to 10 tiles in a stack, and one that holds up to 5 tiles in a stack, primarily to save material and time. These trays have 4 rows of 4 stacks of tiles and are 7" x 8":\r\n\r\n| Model | Qty | Description |\r\n| ----- | --- | ----------- |\r\n| 1867-alt-tile-lid-05.stl | 2 | Lid for alternate short tile tray |\r\n| 1867-alt-tile-lid-10.stl | 2 | Lid for alternate tall tile tray |\r\n| 1867-alt-tile-tray-05.stl | 2 | Alternate short tile tray |\r\n| 1867-alt-tile-tray-10.stl | 2 | Alternate tall tile tray |\r\n\r\nA friend asked me to design a card rack to hold the company stock and engine cards, so I did.\r\n\r\n| Model | Qty | Description |\r\n| ----- | --- | ----------- |\r\n| 1867-card-rack.stl | 2 | Rack for displaying Stock or Engine cards |\r\n\r\nFull sources on [GitHub](https://github.com/wcraigtrader/game-parts/tree/master/18XX).\r\n\r\n**Revision History:**\r\nApril 2019, Initial version.\r\nMay 2019, Complete redesign.
