Wooden Toy Train Bridge and Tower - Brio Compatible

Create a stunning 3D-printed model of the iconic Chapel Bridge and Water Tower in Lucerne (Switzerland), designed specifically for Brio and compatible wooden train sets. This project prioritizes children's play safety and enjoyment over realistic representation.

The water tower and bridge are connected by standard train track connectors.

Features:

• Child-Friendly Design: Rounded edges ensure safety, eliminating the risk of injury.
• Functional Design: The bridge includes a main section with four supports that attach via grooves which must be glued to the bridge (superglue recommended). The roof is removable, allowing easy access and play. The bridge length is optimized to prevent train jamming. The hollow Water Tower features a removable passage connected to the bridge via a Brio-compatible joint. 
• Material and Colors: Printed in PLA using gray, brown, red, and dark brown colors for an authentic look. Smooth plate is recommended.

Print Guide: 

There is no support required. 

Historical context:

The Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) in Lucerne, Switzerland, was built between 1333 and 1360. Originally part of the city's fortifications, it connects different parts of Lucerne and features 62 historic paintings from the 17th century that depict Swiss history.A significant event occurred on August 18, 1993, when a fire destroyed much of the bridge and its artwork. It was quickly restored and reopened in 1994. Today, the Chapel Bridge is a UNESCO-recognized landmark and a symbol of Lucerne's cultural heritage, attracting visitors from around the world.
