3D model description

This is a HOn30 Scale model railroad logging car 21 scale feet long. It is modeled after the cars used by the Dismal Swamp Railroad of the Richmond Cedar Works in Norfolk County, VA, a railroad that ran from the 1890s until 1941.

It is designed to work with Micro-Trains archbar trucks and couplers. No shims are required for proper height. Proper weighting is accomplished via the addition of logging loads (not included).

This model is split into parts to constitute a kit requiring assembly, but also allowing for optimal detail by aligning with the build plate.

This model prints well using a 0.25 mm in PLA, but will likely do well in resin, too. PLA parts can be joined with Plastruct Plastic Weld or Cyanoacrylate glue (e.g. "Super Glue" or "Krazy Glue").
