Corrugated Sheet Texture

How to build the kit:

You will get 3 pieces of 3D-printed canopy pillars
You need to paint the 3D-printed canopy pillars in a color of your choice.
To complete the surface, you can use the free downloadable corrugated sheet texture:

Download the texture
Print them on normal paper at high quality
Use a spray varnish to thoroughly cover the printed surface AS WELL AS THE BACK of the paper. This will protect the paper from humidity, rough handling, and any water in the glue. Leave it for 24 hours.
Glue the texture on a thin piece of cardboard (300 GSM or 0.6 mm)/styrene/acrylic/HIP. The texture has folding guides running longitudinally, fold them accordingly matching the shape of the canopy pillar. Refer to photos of real canopies for reference.
Glue pillars on the underside of the texture - two pillars at the end and one in the middle. Leave about 10mm of margin for the end pillars.

Use longitudinal and cross beams to strengthen the structure. You can use cardboard, styrene, acrylic, HIP, or even brass rods or thick wires. Glue them
Once you are satisfied with the build, glue the pillars at a suitable place on the platform

Our kits are 'made-to-order' - meaning we will start 3D printing once we receive the full payment from you and your order is confirmed. It takes anywhere between 14 to 21 days to print, post-process, pack and dispatch our kits.

Frequently asked questions:

What in included in the 'KIT' ?

The DIY kits have 3D printed components. Includes all detail parts and appropriate decals and jigs where applicable. Assembly and painting required.

Can I motorise the locos?

Some of the locos are designed in a way that can be made totally operable. For any particular locomotive, details are provided in the product description.

You have the flexibility to make a display model or a motorized model depending on your skills to convert them into a running model.

We suggest using the recommended motors for the optimum performance.

What sort of wheels do I get?

By default, all of the kits except some of the locomotives contain 3D printed wheels. For the locomotives that are meant to be motorised, no wheels are included in the regular kit.

For the rolling stock, 3D printed wheels are included, however, please note that the 3D printed wheels are good for display only and will not be suitable for running the models in a layout. Please use suitable plastic or metal wheelsets available to you. Wherever possible we have provided our recommendations in the product description.

Who this is for?
