NS Elo227 Dutch railways

thingiverse

I'm thrilled to share my first attempt at building a HO scale train wagon. My creation is inspired by the Dutch railways' (NS) scrap metal wagon, designated as Elo227. The wheels I've chosen for this project have a diameter of 11.3mm, and the short couplers are made by Roco. This model glides effortlessly through switches, but since its sole purpose is to be combined with other trains, some additional weight needs to be added to compensate for the scrap metal design. Fortunately, my Ultimaker prints the details with reasonable precision; however, a commercial 3D printing service would undoubtedly produce an even more intricate and refined model.
