Evening All

Does anyone know of a good site for accessing 3D printer files as being stuck at home due to no work ( am an Lighting tech in the event industry ) and the wife wont let me spend a single penny, but I do have access to a 3d printer etc so would like to make some bits for my sons layout both g scale and 00 ideally looking for like, shipping containers, benches cable drums skips everything you see at the side of a real line might give me something to do.

Many thanks

Has files that some on here have used for railways

Thingiverse - Digital Designs for Physical Objects

Download files and build them with your 3D printer, laser cutter, or CNC.

www.thingiverse.com

And a useful search engine

STLFinder - 3d models Search Engine

STLFinder is a 3d model search engine able to quickly find the 3d models you are looking for either your 3d printings, games or graphical apps.

www.stlfinder.com

try yeggi - 3D Printer Models Search Engine
that one has files from many sites listed.
if you click on a file it sends you to the file-site, where it is hosted.

This is my experience.
On thingyverse i found a lot of good ideas, but very view designers can make it to a good printable stl.
You can count them on one hand that: design good drawing and good for printing result.

My suggestion would be and its not mandatory! but it will give you a lot more freedom and save you a lot more time: learn how to design.
I think the most simple, yet most versatile and most underestimated program of all----> 3d builder from windows.
