3D model description

This is my β€˜O’ scale model of a 1910's era interurban car (trolley) known as the Windsplitter. The car received its name from the parabolic shaped front end designed to reduce wind resistance. This was one of the first railroad vehicles to actually employ testing of various shapes in order to find one that produced the least drag. This testing was done in 1904 in conjunction with Purdue University. Several cars of this design were produced although they differed in several ways. These cars operated in the Midwest and also in New York state (as a metal sided version with a slightly different configuration).

Please see my updated document and new files for this model for information on printing and finishing: http://www.reighn.com/Windsplitter_Interurban_3D_Print_Files_Updated.pdf. The new files have the words "whole body" in them. Also, new details of the underbody parts and other parts required to finish the model are in the instructions.
