3d WDLR C&D wagons

[PhilH]

I've made a start on what is possibly going to be my next rabbit hole, a WW1 diorama depicting some sort of WDLR scene. the first two prints are of the C and D type wagons utilising free Thingiverse files. As these can be scaled up or down in the slicer and the files are either as assembled bodies and bogies or the parts to make these I would imagine they can easily be made into working examples for a model railway. I printed them in 1/35 scale, they are quite large so I can imagine they would look good in O/16.5 or some such.

OnThingiverse are also files for A,B and E types of wagon so will have a go at those soon. Of course the other good thing about these is they cost pennies to produce as opposed to seemingly exorbitant prices charged elsewhere.
Probably my next attempt will be to see what they look like scaled down to 1/72 as a diorama in 1/35 with these would be huge. Finally of course one bonus with 3-D printing is why print only one when you can load the build plate with lots!
