To coincide with the release of my Baby Shay here is my take on the Gilpin Ore Cars. This model was designed to be printed on an FDM printer with a standard 0.4 mm nozzle and 0.12 mm layer height and utilizes Micro Trains trucks, pins, and 1015 couplers.
Tips for printing:
Print 1 or each file. Print the frame and ore hopper upside down, and the bottom plate right side up.
Assembly:
What you’ll need: Printed components, couplers, trucks and their pins, super glue, small file or sand paper (just in case of fitment issues), paint, and any additional detail parts you want to add.
I like to start by inserting the pins into the frame, then pulling them back out to test the holes and prime them for the truck installation later. If you’re using Micro Trains trucks, use the 2 pins that are on a sprue by themselves, the pin with the adapter and washer is slightly smaller and doesn’t fit as tightly. Also, if the pins have any flashing on their ends sand this off to ensure they seat fully. The ore body slides down over the frame and glues to the deck and frame rails. The bottom plate glues to the underside of the frame after the ore body has been fitted. Next add the trucks, I like to use Micro Trains Arch Bars for a more prototypical look but you can use whatever suits you the best. Finally add the couplers into the pockets on the ends of the frame. I used M1 x 5mm self-tapping screws to attach my couplers.
Since these cars are so light I highly recommend adding weight and using metal wheels to help hold them on the rails better.
Final notes:
As you can tell by recent change in pictures I'm working on a photo diorama, I've got one more set of cars to post and I'll probably take a break from designing to finish it.
The frame is designed to use Micro Trains 1015 couplers, but any equivalent coupler could be used including Atlas Accumate and McHenry couplers. If there is an interest, I can model a hook and loop OO9 style coupler as well.
If you have any comments, questions, suggestions, or funny remarks feel free to reach out to me. As always, I hope to be sharing more of my models in the future and if you have any suggestions for models you’d like to see in HOn30 let me know.
