Description
🇦🇺 Welcome to Sydney!
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 entry contains parts for assembling a Sydney T Set “Tangara” locomotive and car.
- Tops, comprising most of the unit
- Wheels, flip 180 degrees to print with the flat side on the bed. This way, no supports are needed. Two locomotive model versions provided, “T” & “G”.
If you have MMU, you can add colors for the windows, doors, signage, etc.
These cars are compatible with our Generic Station parts and in the same scale. Combine parts and build the line of your dreams*.

The T Set (commonly known as the ‘Tangara’) is a class of electric multiple units operated by Sydney Trains. The name originates from an Aboriginal word that means ‘to go’. They entered service from 1988 and 1995 and still are the second largest fleet in Sydney. They have become an icon with its distinct flat diagonal front shape and yellow color (source).

Clarifications:
- These MiniWorld3D train designs are not meant necessarily to replace or be compatible with any existing train scales or systems.
- As such, we are not following any specific scales like HO, Z or N, but you can easily scale these models in your slicer to suit any of them.
- This collection will be as close to the MiniWorld3D “DNA” as possible: no supports, easy to print stylized and simple models that anyone can print with any setup. At the moment, we don't intend to add mechanisms, electronics, complex moving parts, etc.
*This publication may be updated with new parts, as we grow the system.

Printing Tips
Suggested parameters:
No supports needed.
For better details, print slow, such as 15 or 20mm/s for outer perimeters.
Fine-tune retraction to avoid stringing.
Perimeters: 2
Top layers: 3
Infill: 12% or lower.
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.
Glue is necessary for a permanent assembly.
