3D model description

Based loosely on the Swiss built GE6/6 Rhaetian Crocodiles, as well as their standard gauge Be/Ce-6/8 counterparts. It was designed to be used for oo9/HOe narrow gauge model railways and incorporates the use of 2 Kato 11-109 powered chassis to run.

while browsing the internet I remembered what an inspiring locomotive the Crocodiles was to my younger self, so I elected to recreate it in my preferred modeling scale. Having printed it out and tested the locomotive, not only does the design handle tight curves amazingly, it also handles steep gradients without issue too due to the double powered chassis.

In order to complete the model, the following additional items are required:
2 x Kato 11-109 Powered Chassis
2 x M2x10 screws
Glue
Paint

In order to fully assemble the locomotive, you'll need to print each STL twice. Once each part is prepped, thread the M2 screw though the hole of the chassis, and then push-fit the Kato 11-109 chassis, it should snugly fit into the model. Finally the cab can be press fitted (and glued if necessary) together and slid onto the screws via the two holes under the cab

3D printing settings

Printed in ABS-like resin, 0.03mm layer height, each part on a 45* angle to the print bed using automatically generated fine supports.
