I don't like how My 9 Games clearly reveals my age:
Yea couplers and wheels are the last frontier for reliable 3D prints cause that cost is too much! The set I tried with carbon fiber filament just weren't strong enough. Gotta try again this summer.
It looks real but it's "only" a #modelrailroad! Once again the Bishoptown Subdivision garden railroad shows that outdoor 1:29 scale #trains look stellar in natural sunlight. Expert weathering and attention to details go far for realism.
When they dropping the Epstein GG1?
Correct!
Best part of 3D printing trains? You sometimes get updates to the models! #modelrailroad modeler Simon Wright updated his truck design for his recent D&RGW combine, while Chris Murray is working on a 6-wheel Buckeye that he'll be releasing soon on Thingiverse! These are both fantastic models!
Seeing a completed SP SD9 #3dprint made by our garden railroad club president is so encouraging. There aren't many 1:29 scale releases these days + with a #modeltrain market that focuses on the most expensive models, printing becomes a necessity for budget builds. www.thingiverse.com/thing:7287868
Yeah, I love rewatching that ep too. Anytime I'm stumped about a process with scratch building, I start here and work down my list of log jams. Being able to replay parts and figure out wtf I'm doing wrong with technique is also huge. Sometimes even figuring out I'm using a inferior paint or masking
Everytime this dude posts I learn like 40 new techniques. Absolutely mind blowing work, with paint and finishing tips that can make any #modeltrain layout prosper. I can't stress enough how important YouTube is to making hobbies more accessible. Long gone are the days of grainy b&w photos.
I love when I see examples of 3D printed #modelrailroad structures especially when they were originally at a different scale. This locomotive shed started as an HO scale model, and comfortably scaled up to 1:29 G scale!
Yea I got enchanted by the 40th and Shafter yard. I really looking at local history by visiting various former locations. I just gotta build this yard. It's so wild that the Bay Area had effective Interurban transit in 1940. People often don't know how long electric lines existed out here.
Sweet! That's the railroad I'm modeling for my garden railroad!
The end of the Key system and the Sacramento Northern's passenger service is my villain arc. It is exactly why I have a garden railroad. I am building #modeltrains 100% out of spite.
The past ten years of consumer level 3D printing have been astonishing. It's why I'm so excited for G scale modeling despite it's niche position in #modelrailroad culture.
Uhm where did you get that dare fanny pack? #askingforafriend #imthefriend
That's so good. Captured that era of illustration perfectly.
ICE is already yanking non-white people at random for no reason whatsoever, and you think they somehow wouldn't do the exact same with thousands of voting lines in key swing states because it'd be illegal?
Yeah. Thankfully the used market for G scale is generally pretty good if sparse. Most hoppers (other than AML) go for $50-$70 used. But that's still more $$ than 3D printing them. I typically can print 2 and 1/4 of them for one spool of ASA ($25) and hardware is another $20.
While Bachmann released a new catalog today, you wouldn't notice much "Large scale #trains" other than $230 hoppers. Meanwhile in a year you'd see a dozen or so high quality models from just 2 makers, 512 Designs and RandyMower. #3DPrinting makes obscure #modeltrains scales thrive.
Fan of old timey western #trains ? Well modeler "swright3" has uploaded a gorgeous 1:20.3 Fn3 Combine that would look great next to your LGB D&RGW wood coaches. Yet another lovely example of #3Dprinting making #modeltrains more accessible. cults3d.com/en/3d-model/...

The Thiel presidency. Oligarchs should get credit not the puppet.
I'm reminded every single time I look in the Discover tab and see the most brainrot takes. I'm glad I stick to my self curated feeds.
Well please let me know when you complete that project! I'd love one of those.
Yea, it would be great to have a consolidated source of train-related 3D print models. I spend a lot of time searching via yeggi, and then manually scraping printables, cults3d and thingiverse and still some stuff falls through the cracks. It would also be helpful to track what is and isn't made yet
The newest #modeltrains releases in G Scale aren't from major manufacturers, but 3D printed designs. Not 1 but 2 different SD9 models have been released online for free, by 512 Designs and BAGRS president Roger Nicholson. Further proof that 3D printing is the future of garden #trains scales.
wow, @4allout.bsky.social sounds like he's just another brainrot Wehraboo who glazes nazi general memoirs and has the historical intelligence of Grok with Elon settings set to full cringe. At this point it's not worth taking pseudo-intellectual fake "historian" dipshits like this seriously.
It's Friday. That means you can start thinking about running #trains tonight. Just think about a weekend where you just watch this #modeltrain roll back and forth across a tiny garden bridge.
New #modeltrain day. As my usual M.O. I got a worn out #train and need to print new siderods, new trailing truck, new trailing wheels and redo the entire main shell to look like the Southern Pacific A6 Atlantics.
Gotta love some convincing ground cover for your garden railway. The combo of low growing plants and consistent trackside elements like service line poles goes a long way. #modeltrains
