HO - 1:87 - Monorail project

thingiverse

I kicked off the HO - 1:87 scale monorail project. Here's what I've got so far: the head, cart, belt transmission, and a piece of straight rail. I haven't tackled designing the terminals to hook up electricity from the track to the motor or electrifying the track itself yet – that's next on my agenda. In the head, you'll find an object that will eventually be replaced with a real electric motor – don't print this one, go out and buy a proper motor instead. Unfortunately, my printer's busted, so I couldn't test any of this. That's something I'm looking forward to fixing soon. Next up are curved rail, rail-changer, poles for the track, and stations – all crucial components that will bring this monorail project to life.
