The wheels on the bus go round and round, was Re: Revell Flatcar
I'm puzzled by the references to 156# rail. PRR's 152# and 155# sections are documented in (prototype) engineering literature and vendor's catalogs, but I'm unaware of 156#. Is this just a typo

Re: 3D printing challenges etc.
well, I can't disagree with you Dennis.
To answer the "other software" question, I use two programs - both free - to convert and scale a Sketchup file. So first I export a sketchup file as a 3d

Re: can you id these tank cars?
Well, for some reason I had no trouble enlarging the images, and the tank cars were as follows:
DNCXX 5509 8K gal. AC&F Type 11
TRNX 12001 16K gal. Santa Fe Tk-M built by GATC in 1942
DNCXX 2719

Re: 3D printing challenges etc.
Thanks for the explanation. It would indeed be frustrating to find out at the end that there is an error(or many) somewhere, and not know where to find it!

Re: 3D printing challenges etc.
I think Rob's problem lies elsewhere.
Let me preface this comment with the confession that I am by no means an expert on Sketchup... In fact, I've never used the software, and all I know I've learned

Re: Box Car Database
There are a couple of good stories about the [M&StL] box car mentioned above
that should be told sometime.

No time like the present, Gene.

Re: 3D printing challenges etc.
Don't know if this will pertain using Sketchup...
I design in 1:1 because I work from prototype drawings. When I'm satisfied with the part or assembly I <Save as> an STL file. Also 1:1. I bring that

Re: 3D printing challenges etc.
So you would output your final object to another program for scaling? What other programs would you use?

Re: 3D printing challenges etc.
yes - but if using Sketchup to scale the drawing to HO, you can also run into the 6 decimal place rounding problem if you are not careful. Dividing most large numbers by 87.1 seldom produces neat 6

Anyone know of any HO or N scale decals that contain a Watch Your Step warning in white? I had a set of old Walthers with this for a caboose but naturally ruined one of the decals. Many of the decal

Re: 3D printing challenges etc.
Dennis has basically nailed the source of my difficulties. Better software is the obvious solution, but for now I'm getting sufficiently good results with free software (Sketchup) that I am instead
