This is how I built an old time wooden flat car for my 7 1/2 gauge back yard railroad
Check out www.ebay.com/s... for detail parts for this car.
And www.etsy.com/s... for the 3D printed detail parts and downloadable STL print files.

Now you need a Shay locomotive for the timber operation ;)

Awesome looking flat car. That must have been fun to build.

@DaveSalamon 3 года назад

@@TheWeevilGenius much appreciated...will log in this week and do that. Thanks for making those available.

@DaveSalamon 2 года назад

Got the files, look great! thanks for putting them out there.

That's very cool! Years ago the owner of McConnell Island, a small island between Yellow and Orcas Islands, had a small gauge RR that went around the island. We saw it running a couple of times, but I think it's long gone now.

@TheWeevilGenius 3 года назад

Thanks Mark. I wish I'd seen it. Sounds like it would have been great.

@realsteam9964 3 года назад

Well done on the flat car. Looks great.

@MrRailroadrunner 3 года назад

This is fantastic. Been into this a while, just stumbled on your channel. Well done. If you release these files, even as "payware" I'd definitely be interested!

My great grandfather, Ray Morningstar, was a car carpenter for ATSF at the San Bernardino shops. Sure wish I could ask questions 🙂

@GudrezBilly 3 года назад

Are those 3D printed couplers? I hope they hold up, I wouldn't trust them! They look great though, I hope you're plenty proud. I look forward to watching more of your videos!

@lisapeters5554 3 года назад

would MUCH rather have you talking about how you did the work and what this and that etc as opposed to the dam music.

@TheWeevilGenius 3 года назад

I don't know how to respond to this. My wife is always telling me to shut up!

@minnesotaeerailroad8471 3 года назад

@TheWeevilGenius 3 года назад

Thanks! Music is titled A-GROUP Verve and is bundled with my editing software Filmora9.

@BlueRidgeDave Год назад

very cool.. what material do yo use on your 3d Printed parts and how well do they hold up in UV?

@davidmosscrop2374 9 месяцев назад

Hi Charlie. Love the video. Where can I get drawings to build my own car? Thnx. David

@J.T.Engineering 2 месяца назад

Getting ready to design and build a bunch of rolling stock for my 7 1/2 gauge railroad. How well have you found the 3D printed detailed parts hold up? I was considering printing a bunch of detail parts but am concerned they wont last long.

@arlingtontrains7 3 года назад

Where did you obtain the rail for the tracks?

@jamestowntrains 3 года назад

Do you have a video of how you made the frame? I want to do one of those! And I'd be willing to buy the stl files for the detail parts. I think you've done a great job!

@TheWeevilGenius 2 года назад

If you are still interested I have the detail part files up at: www.etsy.com/shop/littlemountaintimber

@jcoop1061 3 месяца назад

Which wood did you use for the flatcar frame? thx John

@drewbrown9678 3 года назад

Curious where you sourced the truck set from.

@TheWeevilGenius 3 года назад

Cannonball trains. About 14 years ago. Don't know if they still sell them.

@vanguardactual1 Год назад

Would you take orders for the lettering, numbering etc: since you have, I guess, a CNC machine, but anyhow orders for making stencils for other 7.5" RRs.

@paulgreen5518 3 года назад

Great work. Are those 3d files that you've drawn or in the public domain?

@TheWeevilGenius 3 года назад

Thanks for the question. All the 3D files are of my own design. I've had some interest in the files here so I'm currently weighing options that would allow people to have access to them. As I have a lot of hours invested in creating them, I'm not quite willing to give them away for free. Patreon might be an option. Or perhaps a website where the files can be purchased for a nominal fee. I'm open to ideas.

@Rubberduckyconvoy 3 года назад

Would you sell a copy of your 3D prints for the flatcar?

@TheWeevilGenius 2 года назад

If you are interested, I have the detail part files on Etsy. Here is the link: www.etsy.com/shop/littlemountaintimber

@mikepuetz6191 2 года назад

What was a common diameter of the tie rods?

@TheWeevilGenius 2 года назад

I used 5/32 steel rod from Speedy metals. Ends were threaded 8-32. 12L14 was used to make threading easier

@matthewlastrapes417 3 года назад

What wood did you use for this

@TheWeevilGenius 3 года назад

Trestle and ties are cedar. Mostly from reclaimed decking. If I had to do it again I would use Accu-tie rail system plastic ties. They will last forever and are probably now less expensive than cedar.
