Standard outside braced box car in H0 for american/canadian themed modelrailroads.

Best printed in 0.10 mm layers.

Print one each of the roof, bottom and the two different end parts and then two covers.

I recommend that you print the  floor in black and the other parts in grey.

The best way to print the roof is vertically to minimize the layer lines.

Glue the ends and the sides first, make sure that the corners are 90°.

After attaching the couplers (made to use with Kadee #5 couplings, or similiar), glue the cover over them.

To attach the bogie to the car, use the pin, best printed with a 0.25mm nozzle.

To assemble the bogie, just tap the pin in after you have set the wheels in the bogie and placed it on the bottom.

To give the model its proper weight use this box:
