Description
The most iconic cities in the world are well represented by their landmarks: the Empire State Building, the Eiffel Tower, royal palaces & magnificent religious buildings. MiniWorld3D has focused primarily on those for 10 years now, and so we are giving a very important part of such cities a time to shine, one that can be argued is just as iconic but often out of mind…. and underground.
The Trains of the World Collection will feature some of the most iconic railways, from cities such as Paris, Tokyo, New York, London, Mexico City, Melbourne, Seoul, and more!
This particular entry contains generic parts for a station; they can be assembled in many configurations so that you can create your own station designs and sizes.
Specific features for each city's train system will be published separately, including the train cars. They will all be compatible and in the same scale. You can always come back to this publication* for parts you need to mix and match, and build the line of your dreams.
Speaking of scale, we are aware that trains are a realm of their own in miniature models. First, we want to clarify that:
*This publication may be updated with new parts, as we grow the system.
Cars shown in photos are from the Mexico City Metro. Other cars will be published separately in the future.
These models were created by Dany Sánchez.

Suggested parameters:
No supports needed.
For better details, print slow, such as 20mm/s for outer perimeters.
Fine-tune retraction to avoid stringing.
Perimeters: 2
Top layers: 3
Infill: 12% or lower, lightning pattern
There are dovetail (puzzle) connections for parts, you can connect them in any way you want, it is possible to have many configurations. You can also mirror or repeat certain parts.
The initial scale is quite small, so feel free to try 150% or even 200% for more detail and having small parts that are easier to handle.
Depending on the configuration, this station does not necessarily have to represent “underground”. If you use just the platforms, it can be a regular train.
