Steam Engine Train Leviathan

thingiverse

Detailed steam engine train loosely modeled after the number 63 Leviathan. Matching tender is available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4772254 The model is not to any scale and not an accurate replica, particularly for the wheel sockets and the cabin. Most parts can be printed without or only very little support. Careful, there are more than 100 pieces to the entire model. If parts are to be printed multiple times, the amount is indicated in brackets in the filename. A standard LED can be placed inside the lantern and cables will run inside the model towards the cabin. Another LED might be placed loosely inside the boiler to indicate the burning fire. The details in the model are designed to be printed with 0.4mm nozzle FDM at 0.2mm layer height. I personally printed it on an Ender 3 in PLA. Most parts will be glued in place. Some parts (especially the wheels) are supposed to be attached with M2x20mmm screws. Any other diameter or length will not fit. Sorry about that. The wheels and drive mechanism are theoretically moving, but at least for my print, the tolerances are too tight for smooth movement. I am not particularly happy with the wheel sockets either. I should come up with a better solution there.
