60 Foot Boxcar (HO)

September 4, 2023
Description
𪨠Rock Level: Model will be updated in the future to be easier to build (Sept. 4 2023)
60 Foot Gunderson Double Door Boxcar. Designed to be built after the pieces have been printed. Follow the parts list for all the parts in the boxcar and the detail parts for the boxcar. All parts can be printed with FDM. Most of the detail parts can be printed with FDM, the bolded parts should be printed in resin but can be printed in FDM. The couplers are screwed in with M2x4 and the wheel set/trucks are screwed in with M2x6.
The boxcar uses 36" wheels in real life with 100 ton trucks. Trucks can be found here and has been tested to work with Accurail, Athearn, and Walthers. When completed (including the wheel trucks, wheels, and couplers) the car is lightweight and I would recommend adding ~50 grams of weight.
