3D printable replacement wheels for New Bright G-scale trains, like the Holiday Express.

 

Four files included:

  • New Bright Train Wheel Drive: The rear wheel of the train. Has a grove for a “traction tire." I found a 32mm x 3mm o-ring fits well on both the original wheel.
  • New Bright Train Wheel Run: The front and middle wheel of the train.
  • New Bright Train Wheel Axel Extension: Helps fill the space on the axle between the wheel and train body. I recommend gluing it to the back of the wheel to add stability.
  • New Bright Train Wheel Peg: The peg for connecting the wheels to drive rod.

Printing Notes:

  • Supports are optional and dependent on your printer. I printed with supports for both to the bed and the grove for the drive wheel.
  • The peg may need to be printed on its side. The part is very small and, while warm, will flex under the print head.

Installation Notes:

  • The hole for the axle is intentionally small. I heated the axle using a lighter an pressed the wheel on for a snug fit.
  • Remember to mount the o-ring before connecting the drive rod to the wheel.
  • The peg may need a little clean up to fit the hole of the wheels. It should fit both OEM and printed wheels.
