G Scale Wagons (1/32)

thingiverse

This is a revised version of my 12 Ton Railway wagon. The original design was created using 123D, but I've since updated it with Fusion 360, ensuring the main axles' sides are now fully symmetrical. The bogies feature slots for 3mm*7mm*3mm ball races, which significantly enhance the wagon's smoothness. If you prefer not to use the ball races, you can always opt for the bogie from my original design, "Strong Swing Axle print 2." I've also included a "close coupling" version with the ball race that couples closer and is slightly easier to assemble due to its stress relief slot. Multiple bodies are compatible with the bogies and buffers: My original 12 ton wagon, versions with low sides, versions without sides at all, and a Guards van based on a sliding door van. Vendorf70 is designing a Guards van using the same bogies, axle sides, etc. The Guards van presents a challenging print, but it can be achieved with a well-calibrated printer and 16 hours for the main body. Other printers may complete this task faster. The roof should be printed "with supports" and will require considerable removal of material. Once removed, the roof slots onto the main body and can be glued in place. I've updated the axle ends to make them easier to print. Future plans include adding other bodies using the same basic parts, potentially recreating the train from a YouTube video, "Isle of Wight Steam Railway 'ISLAND STEAM DAY' - 13/04/2014."
