HO scale Schienenzeppelin by Alberto_M - remixxed for drone motor

thingiverse

This is an excellent model that proved challenging to replicate exactly as the real Zeppelin. Research revealed that Marklin manufactured a similar version in 2010, but it featured four wheels and motor bogies. To overcome this limitation, a modification was made to the design, creating a frame for two wheels and integrating an 8.5x20 mm drone motor with a 45 mm propeller. For reference, see videos at https://youtu.be/NMFToUZmAJI and https://youtu.be/8LnDOOG2Owg. The wheels used are DC wheels from https://www.aliexpress.com/item/HP1487-12pcs-24pcs-HO-Scale-36-Metal-Wheels-for-Model-Trains-1-87-DC-Wheels-set/32920077601.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dU0ML2x. The motor is an 8.5x20 mm drone motor, paired with a two-blade, 45 mm drone propeller. A DC wheel setup was chosen, installed in reverse direction, and copper wire wrapped around each axle to capture electrical current from the tracks. Additional weight of approximately 50 grams was added to prevent problems when navigating curves at high speeds.
