Open freight car 1:32 scale\nThe platform measures 230mm in length and 262mm between the buffers.\nAxle holders are designed to fit a 3mm shaft, which means that LGB's wheels and equivalents will fit perfectly within these carriers. On these carriers, I have created attachments for standard couplers such as LGB and its equivalents.\nI have limited experience with moving axles, but I have been testing it this winter, and it appears to work well so far. However, you need something that keeps the wheels parallel to the tracks. So, I have tried a variant with a holder in the middle and straps made of plastic (similar to those used for wrapping post packets). It has worked well up until now. The holder features two holes of different widths to accommodate a suitable screw available at home.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand: MakerBot\nPrinter: MakerBot Replicator 2X\nResolution: Normal 0.2\nPost-Printing\nTo assemble the wheels, push them down into the shaft holder with heavy pressure. First, ensure that the shaft fits into the hole from the side. To check if the shaft will roll smoothly, apply gentle pressure. If not, file out the hole slightly to achieve a smooth fit. For the wheel axle, I have used polished 3mm round steel. The wheel holder fixing screw is approximately 3 to 4 mm in length.\nThe small black square on the left long side serves as a destination container. You can choose to include it or skip it altogether. It can be glued to the carriage, roughly resembling the photo provided.
