"Preserving Railroad Heritage Through Modern Tech"
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.
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.
