thingiverse

HistoryBuilt in 1898 in Cologne for the Nordhausen-Wernigeroder-Eisenbahn (NWE) it got the number 156. Compared to the wagon 154 this one had no mail compartment.Today this caboose is in use on historical trains. This design project was on the wish list - code name Suppenwagen.Pictures from 1980s [3] and this year 2023 [4] show some differences, so I we have two slightly different versions named 1982 and 2023 here. I didn't designed the actual wheel bearings and wheels in the 2023 version, because we hope it will get spoke wheels again.Printing and post printingI printed all parts in ABS like resin on Anycubic Mono 4K. Is a try for printed handrails. Only the rails on sliding door are made from wire.Roof was printed in 45°, main part 135° and the rails 30°.priming main partpaint interior paintexterior basic paintadding wheel sets (I use standard TT gauge wheel sets 8,3mm diameter or spoke wheels)glue windowsadd weightglue roofadd railings paint the railing...Paintin 1980s I assume brown paint like a boxcars [3]in 1989 a more luggage car like red [5] ?now reddish brown with black braces [4]Updates2023-10-09: Steps below sliding doorOrigin and licensingThe design is based on [1] p. 206 (NWE 154) and pictures made by Julius for matching box design.
