Jax 3D Trains hasn't added a story.

Welcome to our journey to restore and celebrate railroad history through 3D printing

I dedicate my time to creating Large Scale Models  of Historical Locomotives for Museums that can't afford traditional restoration projects.

Here, you can support this unique initiative where technology meets history.

Mission:

  • Restore History: Bringing back the glory of lost locomotives one print at a time.
  • Educate: Offering insights into the engineering marvels of the past.
  • Preserve: Ensuring that railroad history remains accessible to future generations.

Projects Highlighting Our Work:

  • John Harford (#2): Experience the restoration here - An example of bringing lesser-known rail history to life.
  • Ongoing Project #101: Witness the journey here - Our current endeavor, showcasing the process from design to assembly.
Reviving Railroad History with 3D Printing
Introducing a groundbreaking aspect of our project dedicated to preserving the legacy of railroads:
3D printed historical locomotives for museums!
Our team has meticulously designed and 3D printed models of iconic locomotives, bringing the past to life in stunning detail.
Now, we're taking our mission a step further by making our digital STL files available to the public.
Explore the Models:
Check out one of our featured models, the 1876 4-4-0 Baldwin Locomotive from the 8-18C series, at Our Storefront Here you can find links to individual parts under the main description, allowing enthusiasts to piece together these historical wonders at home or at their local community spaces.
Custom Parts Service: For those who prefer to leave the printing to the experts, our latest products include individual locomotive parts available for purchase. Browse through our collection at Featured Products for parts that can be shipped directly to you.
Why This Matters:
Education: Offering hands-on learning experiences about engineering, history, and technology.
Preservation: Digitally archiving locomotive designs for future generations.
Community: Engaging hobbyists, historians, and educators in a shared passion for rail history.
Join us in this innovative journey where technology meets tradition. Download, print, assemble, and celebrate the rich history of railroads with us.
