Slap on a huge tariff and everything will come good.

@Rich-O-Brien I look at that Contrail SD45 smoking a splif and thing "WTF that's magnificent.
Maybe getting a shop on turbosquid or FAB selling models?
You can sell them here too if you wish.

@Rich-O-Brien How much do you think my EMD SD45 is worth?

Freight Train Cargo Cars 3d Model
Freight Train 8 cars 2 engines 3D Model available on Turbo Squid, the world's leading provider of digital 3D models for visualization, films, television, and games.
(www.turbosquid.com)
8 cars + 2 engines = $550 according to this listing.
I suppose its whatever you feel it is worth. Those are ~$50 per model which seems like a good price considering the work involved.
If I desperately needed a high quality model of a train it good value.
I know a company that buys his ship models for port training videos and those are $120/ship

@Rich-O-Brien Maybe $120 for one locomotive. I've never done this before. The native model is Sketchup. Do I need maybe like a Blender file and could it's just be a base model without materials? What's the commission for selling over Sketchucation? Can I sell a Sketchup model over CGTrader et al?

Craigslist, Bluesky and Instagram isn't working.

Go signup at TurboSquid and see whats up with it. That would be the premiere place to sell models like your trains.
-
My ten pence worth is that the Squid seems more sales oriented, with the occasional freebie, they definitely seem to get more traffic than the throttled sites.
Your product is definitely high end so I believe you would do OK to well.

@Mike-Amos Squid looks interesting. Only problem is converting the SU models to anything like max, obj or blender.

One thing that is an issue with this arch vis work is that there are companies like fiverr etc,that is a multi national site. There are with a people that do modelling, rendering graphic design, logo design etc, etc. There are thousands of them. Some of these people will work for very little money and will do a project for the equivalent of 5 dollars an hour, And they are making money where cost of living is so low and the exchange rate is very favourable. Then there are agents working in most countries like Australia an Australian company, where you can go to the agent and get a SU model of a house for 450 Aussie dollars. They have subcontractors from Vietnam, Philippines, Bangladesh etc that will supply SU models for around a hundred dollars.the Australian company will quality control the model and on sell it for $450 AUD. The people in the aforementioned counties are living well and no reasonable person could blame them.

I can convert stuff you need converted most of the time, just a case of logistics.
Blender can be useful for .fbx.
-
you can convert SketchUp's SKP files to Blender. You can either use the built-in SKP importer in Blender or export the model from SketchUp in a compatible format like Collada (DAE), OBJ, or FBX, then import that into Blender.
