North American 3D printed models

[jwchenard]

After an extensive surge, I have determined that there are no North American trolleys/streetcars available on any of the 3D sites. (In ANY scale!) Quite a few European and Australian options, though.

Anyone know of any available? I'd certainly be willing to pay a good price for a decent 3D model of a common prototype.

Hm surprised none of the plans do not cover PCC’s (heavily used in Belgium) or the USA types used in MIlan Italy

I found two US outline 3D models in non-printable OBJ format - you might want to enquire with the creators whether a format conversion to .STL format is possible and under what financial terms. PCC Streetcar and Pacific Electric

Also this O gauge tram supplier can print in different scales, might be worth inquiring if there is anything of interest.

The Tokyo TKK 200 looks interesting to me . . .

​

Interesting to note both those tram types have been produced as 45mm gauged models the PCC by Aristocraft and the "Pacific Electric" by LGB. Different scales though. I used to have the latter on my line, in its "New Orleans guise. Then there are the Bachmann trams. And OcCre have produced a laser cut kit of the SanFransisco cable car that Jimmy on here has blogged a build of. Ok, none 3D prints, which you can scale, but a start point for a steet car fleet. Max

My LGB "New Orleans" guise. Something I wish I had kept.

I had one of those cars but in red and creme (New York Inthink), trouble for me was the scale it was towards the 1:30 end and thus looked way too small with all my other stock. Glendale moved it on for me.

Thanks. I was hoping to find a model printable on a filament printer for US$50 or less. Those are all significantly more than that!
