Now you can build one yourself if you have just basic 3D printer knowledge! The entire set of printable 3D parts (STL files) is meant to be easy to manage. The model is suited for printing on smaller machines with limited working area (FDM, bed size: 150 x 150mm). Dimensions of fully assembled model are: 345x71x133mm. It doesn't need any support during the printing process. However, some parts may require delicate sanding before applying glue for a better fit. Wheel axles should be made from 1.5mm steel wire. Hinges work well with 1.75 filament inserts. You can skip the file "Diesel01_part_A5.stl" if you don't need motor. Have fun building! I would be delighted to hear any comments and questions regarding this one! Higher resolution photos are available at www.euroreprap.eu. PS 1: The current version is equipped with couplers and is ready for use with cars that will be released soon. PS 2: An assembly explanation pdf file is now freely available: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12166480/E-SUPPORT/diesel_01_by_euroreprap.eu_assembly_explanation.pdf PS 3: Various "Lego type" tracks are also freely available for download and printing these days. For example, visit http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26734. PS 4: You can make this model match one of popular market track sizes (32mm) by scaling it down with a factor of 0.847 before printing.
