3D Printing in Model Railroading: Amtrak Cascades

I wanted to share with you the mid-conclusion point of one of my longest modeling projects.

Amtrak Cascades Talgo train that was 3D printed

3D printed passenger car trucks

So I stayed up way too late last night. This all started when my friend Tom bought some old AHM/Rivarossi cars at a train show. It has probably been coming on for a while before that, but this was really what lit the fire. I'm sure we all remember Rivarossi Streamlined cars. Many different roadnames were made, but I always thought the trucks were flat. Hardly any detail. I'm sure I'll get a reply that says that I could have just bought Train Station trucks or Walthers trucks, but this way I have the pride of knowing it is something I have made and produced.
