N scale South African Blue Train Personnel Car
thingiverse
No-one seems to make South African n-scale trains and I really wanted one. So I designed and printed a whole set of 19 coaches of the world famous Blue Train. I've uploaded everything you need to build a complete set: Class 18E locomotive (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2844936) Conference Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2833029) Kitchen Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2834397) Dining Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2835802) Lounge Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2836933) Club Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2838216) Personnel Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2839262) Baggage Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2840276) Power Car (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2841486) Luxury Suite (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2842658) Deluxe Suite (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2843960) Bogieset with static-display wheels (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2844942) The Blue Train Set 1 accommodates 54 guests and has 6 Deluxe Suites and 1 Luxury Suite, while Set 2 accommodates 82 guests and contains 8 Deluxe Suites and 3 Luxury Suites. To see how each set is configured, visit http://www.bluetrain.co.za/train-layout. You'll need glue to assemble each coach, a set of 12x3mm bolts with locknuts to attach the bogies, and n-scale metal wheels if you want them to run. Alternatively, print the bogies with static-display wheels for a display model that doesn't require proper wheels. The loco body fits onto a Fleischmann 7232. You'll need glue and some sanding/filing to make it look nice. The cowcatcher needs to be glued onto the loco's bogie/coupler so that it can move freely without rubbing against the body. I use the following settings: No rafts or supports anywhere For the coaches, I set: Bogies and undercarriage - 90% infill density and 0.2mm layer height Coach - 90% infill density, 0.2mm layer height, and a fast enough print speed to prevent filament drooping over windows Furniture - 30% infill density and 0.1mm layer height Roof - 10% infill density and 0.1mm layer height (Infill needs to be high enough to keep the roof flat, but not so high that it becomes too heavy relative to the rest of the assembly.) For the locos, I set: Body, cowcatcher & pantograph - 90% infill density and 0.2mm layer height Roof - 30% infill density and 0.1mm layer height
