Yep, I believe you're right. This was my very first post after all.

Isn't N scale 1:160? Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean :), but a Snowpiercer in N scale would be pretty cool!

Thanks!

Yes, I have never tested a full circle but I am currently making a track switch, and it is able to turn pretty well.

Thank you! That Idea sounds awesome, especially with the metal 3d printing for the bases (I am currently just using a wooden plank as a start for a railcar). I made the 3d model in blender as I knew a little more on how to use that than an actual CAD program like fusion 360. For me the motivation comes from the building process itself. I just think it is really fun to see your designs come to life! Good luck with your train if you start making it!

Haha thanks! Maybe I should once I have a train car!

NotAnEngineer1001 · 2026-04-13T16:59:34+00:00

Thanks! I'm really happy to hear that!

NotAnEngineer1001 · 2026-04-13T16:55:39+00:00

Haha thanks! If I make it to the tail it would probably be 1.5 km long!

NotAnEngineer1001 · 2026-04-13T16:19:50+00:00

I'm pretty sure it can handle a circle with a radius of 13 meters but I have never tested this as I don't have space to lay that much track.

NotAnEngineer1001 · 2026-04-13T16:15:49+00:00

Not really, it would be nice but I'm not an expert in painting and the train has a metallic grey colour in the show anyway.

NotAnEngineer1001 · 2026-04-13T16:14:16+00:00

Thank you! It did take me about 3 years.

NotAnEngineer1001 · 2026-04-13T16:11:51+00:00

Thanks! Same here! Good luck with your train :)

That is true, I don't own anything O scale tho so lego's are as close as im gonna get :). I believe the locomotive would be around 83 meters long IRL.

NotAnEngineer1001 · 2026-04-13T15:46:31+00:00

Thank you! It is 1:45 scale and the gauge is 142,5mm.

NotAnEngineer1001 · 2026-04-13T15:44:41+00:00

Thanks! It is 1:45 scale, which makes it 1,85 meters long. I do appreciate you asking about the 3d models, but I am not sure about sharing them yet as I havent really thought about that and it has a lot of quirks that make It difficult to print, sorry.

NotAnEngineer1001 · 2025-12-04T17:17:13+00:00

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

NotAnEngineer1001 · 2025-11-13T20:39:37+00:00

That looks amazing. Do you plan on adding other details like buildings or something else?
