Modeling logs is about as common of a subject as rocks or grass or trees.

Today I started the beginning of installing the scenery for the major portion of the layout, it’s taken quite a awhile to get back into the zone,

While waiting O material to finish my brewery I though I would try something new. I have never used my 3D printer to produce a railcar. Back in the 80s I worked in Texas at a nuclear power plant that was under construction and WECX 101 brought in the transformer. I got a bunch of pictures and a photocopy of the operators manual.

Hello,

I've made an update video about my  modelrailway activity during the last month, mostly about my 009 layout, and a little bit about my N gauge layout.

I figured out how to do the lighting, for someone who knows nothing about this, thats quite an accomplishment. I also build some industrial shelves then raid ebay and the surplus parts for interior details.

This is for a O scale operator,  I was commission to help produce Precast Concrete Pipes for a gondola load for his operating layout.

You can also see the Precast Concrete Pipes in both HO and N,  For fun I did a mock up of his idea (He will be suing real wood) and printed it out in N scale,  makes a rather nice load and gives me an idea of what it will look like in O scale. He just needs to light sand and paint the O scale ones do to the vector lines showing up in such a larger scale.  But one model 4 scales.

One of the items I'm finding is if I don't design constantly with Fusion 360, I start to forget the odd "foundation" items, and have to spend time relearning stuff.  I don't like doing that, so I've decided that I have to keep something "on the burner" when it comes to 3D design and printing.
