The first steam locomotive

Description
The first steam locomotive by Richard Trevithick, a British inventor from 1804. I was looking for some mechanical model and I found this locomotive, I really liked it, so I tried to make a 3d printed model for those who like history and trains. The parts do not need support , some are made of two parts and need to be glued together.
UPDATE! Added Stl model parts
Complete assembly instructions are in the video.
I made the holes for screws, axles and wires smaller so that they fit exactly after drilling the part. I'm glad I used bearings, all the moving parts move easily.
Hardware: 9 pieces of bearings 5x10x4 mm
8 pieces of bearings 3x6x2.5mm
1 piece M3x35mm, 1 piece M3x30mm, 1 piece M5x15mm
3 pieces of brass wire 125x3mm, 4 pieces of brass wire 8x3mm and 2 pieces of wire 1.5x140mm for the control rods
I ordered the bearings in a model shop and the brass wire in a welding shop, it was nothing complicated
Grind the 8x3mm brass wire axle a bit on one end to fit the 3x6x2.5mm bearing
Grid under the driver - straight line fill and 0 top and bottom layers when setting the print
I also made a mockup of the rails to make the model look realistic. The cart is a bonus to the model.
I tried to make the model as easy to assemble as possible. So that there is little gluing. If I have forgotten something, or something is unclear to you, write me, I will be happy to advise
So far, I only know how to make models in Tinkercade and Prusaslicer. Therefore, if you have problems with 3mf files - missing holes or bad geometry, please use Prusaslicer for slicing, everything works there
