I 3D printed all three of these buildings for my layout. The two on the left were 3D models I paid for (they’re pretty inexpensive, and most of the money goes to the creators). The one on the right is a custom remix I created of the one on left. I created and printed all of the interior detail for all three of them. There isn’t a drop of…

Finally got my Rapido GE 44 Tonner preorder today. I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while. And the Rapido manual is fantastic and hilarious (as always). ❤

When I converted this steam locomotive to DCC, I designed and printed a reverse headlight to hold a 3mm flat top led. Not SUPER prototypical-looking, but I think it turned out pretty well. If anyone is interested in it, let me know – I’ll upload it to thinginverse and post a link.

Not great lighting, but I think this was the best of the bunch I weathered. Stock photo for comparison.

Here’s my first go at weathering a set of open hoppers. I think they turned out okay…but I definitely have a long way to go toward making it look more realistic.
I did a base coat of translucent white to give the black finish a faded look. I used a variety of different methods next, but mostly stuck to streaking the sides with acrylic and…

Pro tip! If you’re going to put your newly-sprayed rail car in the oven for a low temp cure:
1. Make sure the oven is ACTUALLY set to low temperature
2. Don’t walk away and get distracted by something shinyFollow me for more helpful tips 🤣

Is there a way to search groups? If there isn’t, is that something that can be added? I was thinking of creating a new one for Weathering but was trying to figure out if a group for it already existed first, and I didn’t see a way to search

I’m relatively new to modeling, but I’ve been an analog electronics hobbyist for years. So when it came time to do lighting for my layout, I just sort of just did my own thing with a custom built analog controller separate from the track power/train control. I’m curious, though…what does everyone else use for their lighting systems, and…

I’ve designed a couple of 3D-printable models for my HO-scale layout this year, and have put the models up for free to download from Thingiverse. They are models of a modern-style house (patterned after my own home) and a midwest-style corn crib. I’ve gotten good feedback on the design and the ease of printing them, so go grab them if…
