450 ton, 16 axle depressed center flat car - N scale

thingiverse

N Scale Flat Car for Overloaded Freight; Engineered after GEX 80000 Prototype. This massive flat car, accurately proportioned to match its full-scale equivalent, demands extensive attention from model railroaders seeking smooth handling. Frustration sets in when attempting to navigate curved tracks due to significant overhang, forcing owners to invest extra effort or use added weights and carefully constructed heavy loads to maintain stable operation on the rails. An incorporated generator will successfully power a loaded design if equipped with BBs. Intermountain's highly regarded 8 trucks provide precise handling capabilities. Optimized updates have been made to the car's bolsters for better cornering stability and a lower center of gravity. Instructions: First, carefully print each piece lying on its side, employing external support when necessary. Time-consuming knife work will soon become a hobby enthusiast's unwanted companion upon completion. However, those using a mesh mixer are in luck - printing the car body at an angle leads to smooth results. Required Components: - Upper Car Body Piece (1 unit) - Mid Car Section Piece (2 units) - Lower Bolster Pieces (4 units) - Universal or Intermountain short pins (8) - do not hesitate to print extras
