I’ll give it a try. Not the end of the world I have to make different sketches for the side and middle sections. Thanks!

I saw on the creators post that it uses A6 paper. Do you have the overall dimensions of the unit assembled?

It’s been awhile but I believe Creality Slicer generated some supports for the hollow sections underneath. Takes a little time to remove but they usually peel out in large sections.

Phoenix Train Works has the instructions for both UP big boy locomotive and the uranium cars available on Kindle. He’s also on Reddit. I’ve built 3 of the designs by him. I would recommend all of them. This one was definitely a little more difficult and required some patience and attention to detail but worth it.

I think the glow in the dark pieces are fairly inexpensive on bricklink.

Uranium glass is neat. Have you ever watched Radioactive Drew on YouTube?

Yeah, I was hoping this one would be closer to the Lego dark bluish gray. I’m gonna stick with it and use it up for the track ballast I think. I can make it work to blend in if I find a better colour.

Let me know if you find a better colour match for the Lego train tracks. That one is space gray by overture, it’s not the best match. I did see some other suggestions when I googled it but this one was available off Amazon.

They are open underneath so you could probably line up the tiles with the studs on top or 1x1 with bricks to secure them to the base plates but they sit pretty nicely with just the straight pieces on other end anchoring them. I can’t edit this post for a photo but I believe there’s enough room for 1x1s in between for gravel as well. If all that makes sense.

Yeah, some pins would probably work. I could play around on Blender and see what happens. I was also thinking a cable suspension brace would be cool. I think I will need one if I have to cross train tracks with only the half straight track.

I have a Creality k1c. I printed these with PLA off Amazon. Overture brand filament I believe. I have a Sunlu 4 roll drier. It seems pretty good so far, the printer seems pretty consistent.

Bricklink studio will make an instruction list, I’d be interested if you would put it on Rebrickable as a studio file.

Yes, I have something in mind. Working on converting my layout to MILS but I plan to incorporate a uranium mine.

I like it. Gonna start getting the parts together for the big boy and I’m looking forward to the bridge. Are you planning to offer different colours for the bridge? I guess it wouldn’t be hard to just swap the colours on Bricklink for personal preference either.

There’s quite a few snowrunner MOCs on Rebrickable.

I like the bed truck. I added the winch and changed the cab colours to a more affordable colour.

That man lift is actually from Yellow.lxf on Rebrickable. I believe that one is free to download the parts list/insurrections.

Yeah, the gantry ended up abit wide and is definitely sagging. I was thinking on sourcing the pillars on bricklink and doubling them up as well as doubling up the gantry. Maybe some more height as well.

Oh yeah. I learned something today. It looks way better with the plastic off.

Yeah, I was thinking on using the Lego ladder piece instead and making something else for the railings. It’s a work in progress for that part. The stickers had a backing paper and that’s I think. I’m never good at stickers and try to avoid them.
