SBB RBe4-4 Interior for N Scale Lima

thingiverse

My first published 3D model, I hope someone out there finds it useful! The print is for an interior seating module designed to fit perfectly into an old Lima N scale Swiss SBB RBe4/4 railcar or triebwagen. I'm completely re-vamping the unit with DCC Sound (ESU Loksound Micro), a third headlight, and more. The photos show my finished print which was done on my Ultimaker 2+ at normal print speed using white PLA purchased from RS Components in the UK. This PLA is from their professional range and models come out incredibly smooth - there's hardly any obvious ridging. The seating unit will be epoxied to the chassis moulding (I did consider reprinting the entire chassis but decided that the undergear was too complex to model). I'm considering re-motoring with a modern cardan shaft, but that's a project for the future! The interior in the photos has been part-painted - this PLA takes acrylic paint very well. I'm now working on cab console and headlight circuit boards which will fit inside the ends of the bodyshell. This design was made with Tinkercad.
