EMD SD-45 Union Pacific Update

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks. I must say, navigating around Blender is a struggle in itself. Setting up the camera or even creating a scene. Sometimes I'll zoom off into the middle of nowhere. Time for more instructional videos on Youtube. At least the ones that don't go 100 MPH.

Beautiful work!
i am trying to make a 1:32 Sd18 that uses the Flexicoil three axle bogie as shown in your illustration. Would you be willing to sell me the file for the bogie so i could 3d print a couple for my project?

RegardsI don't know if I'd want to release the truck model. I may be able to provide a 3D printer service with an stl. I'm still mulling over selling the model to somewhere like CGTrader.
What are you looking to do? A static model or an operable model train?
Are you able to model one yourself? I can point you to the plans I used to develop this model from the The Norfolk and Western Historical Society.
You could try making me an offer I can't refuse.

@Gus-R T Thanks for the reply.
This will be a powered Gauge one model to run on G scale track.
I have a little Bambu Mini printer and was hoping to try to print a modified bogie frame in parts to go a round a custom motor block.
Let me know if you sell your models . i would be happy to purchase from the the vender you chose.. i was thinking of making a set out of brass but that might be pushing my skillset beyond what im capable of.

"The model comes with a lot of small thin and fragile parts. It will be risky to print this as one piece."
Might not work for something that you're looking for.
You can look around on CGTrader. There's a very similar model here and here.
Don't forget to not only search for "truck" but also try "bogie."

@Old_Noob Do you have any examples of previous work?

In school, we used to do similar with cut up baked bean tins and styrene (I think) washers.
Did the job well enough.
The washers are pretty durable and come in lots of sizes.
