Solar-powered locomotive for 32mm gauge garden railways

thingiverse

A pioneering freelance locomotive engineered to harness solar power for efficient operation. The innovative Steeplecab design accommodates three 45mm square solar panels, perfectly integrated onto the locomotive's frame. A high-capacity supercapacitor allows uninterrupted running even in shaded areas or partial cloud cover. Flexible options enable battery power integration, either as a switch-activated alternative to solar power or as an independent power source. Red/white LED lights can be seamlessly incorporated, as clearly depicted in the accompanying photos. Additional external solar panels can be utilized to boost power on overcast days. For comprehensive details on constructing this remarkable locomotive, please consult the 'Solar Loco.pdf' document. Regrettably, I recently discovered that Thingiverse no longer provides a ZIP file for downloading all associated files at once. To address this, I have appended an All_files.zip archive containing the PDF and all STL files.
