I’m not sure that the feed vs discussions on the individual groups is catching on; I see most of the activity in feeds and it doesn’t seem like we’re digging further yet.

It’s in N scale but should re-scale anywhere you want to go. Easy to make on any old FDM printer.

I threw it up on Printables:
