Wellcar Stackcar Container Railcar Train HO - Issues Remain, Needing Attention Frustrating to face challenges with this meticulously crafted HO train. Notably, the bay is a tad too narrow (1mm of room to breathe, which may necessitate a Dremel to shave off on either side). Additionally, a critical connection point is currently missing from common bogies, although progress continues. Fortunately, the support of an exceptional friend enabled this iteration's creation. Nevertheless, it remains clear that room for improvement exists. Specifically, a trio of distinctive wagons – crucial components in A-C-B stack train configurations with 2 common bogies – pose unique design hurdles. Users can employ either the popular 100 ton HO bogies featured on Thingiverse paired with Bachmann wheels or regular Bachmann bogies to find a suitable match. Optimized for one-piece printing on Davinci 3D printers without sacrificing quality, this design benefits from strategic rotation at a 45-degree angle. Notwithstanding this advantage, areas inside the bay may necessitate reinforcement – notably where netfabb struggled during its development. This train model remains an open canvas for perfection, and releasing it is intended to inspire enhancements that address current shortfalls. Model trains aficionados are encouraged to bring their expertise and push this creation closer to its full potential: an ultimate achievement that would undoubtedly please all enthusiasts! Two subsequent iterations – 48ft and 40ft - are being crafted, sharing similar development hurdles. **Revision Details:**
