Looking very good - what does a kit cost? 🙂

Hi, thank you very much...actually this is the best quality I can get with filament printing...it requires over 100 hours to print all parts and get that detail.
The complete kit with Dingler axles and taps, ball bearings, and brass rods would cost €260, but if you live in Germany, it's better to buy all the accessories yourself, saving on shipping costs, because I'd obviously have to cover the shipping costs for those parts back to Italy.
In this case, the cost of the plastic parts alone is €180 plus shipping. You only need two "1-meter axles" and a set of brake taps (Dingler), 2 hooks (Marklin), four ball bearings (Amazon), and 1mm and 0.8mm brass rods.
If you want to mount different hooks than the Marklin ones, you will have to communicate to me the dimensions of the rod so that I can modify the project to print the components based on the hooks.

Hg 1940 - Breda brake system - Dingler axles and brake taps.
kit available

Something new!
Refrigerated Hg carriage 1940 with brakeman's cab and hand brake.
The project is optimized for maximum quality with the filament printer; there are many small parts that can be applied separately for greater detail.
The carriage will be finished soon.

An interesting Italian video from 1935 in which you can see the mobile container system made in Italy. From the middle of the film you can also see the containers of the German "Von haus zu haus" system loaded onto Italian flatbed wagons and some "crash tests" with the various containers.

Hi Anton, thank you very much for the compliments!
You asked a great question about the toothpick. The answer is that the brakeman's cabin is not yet glued, so between the toothpick and the little brass bar you see below the frame, I had tied a small rubber band to keep the cabin in place...the brakeman's cabin will then have its floor and all handbrake linkages.

I've made some progress with my work. There are many details that need to be applied separately.

Hi everyone, here's something new.
A P/Pcm type wagon for the general transport of heavy loads or mobile containers, a system similar to the German "von Haus zu Haus". I'm starting to do some printing tests of this particular Italian wagon.

A little update of the three definitive versions of O10:

I hope you like it, I am very satisfied with the result obtained and the details that I managed to reproduce.
Now I would like to design other particular German wagons but it is difficult to find documentation.

Looks great, but what I would really like to have is its Italian counterpart as in this (very bad) picture on the left of the Schwabenbräu beer wagon...

Hello hvspelde, if you have the opportunity to wait a few weeks, the Italian carriage you want is already being prepared.
I wanted to try with this little German O10 wagon to understand what a small commercial filament printer can do.
The Italian type Lt wagon will be made in four versions: wooden body with and without brakeman's cab, then metal body with and without brakeman's cab.

evtl. diesen, neu lackieren und dann mit einer Beschriftung von Fr. Simrock versehen.

passt vermutlich nicht 100 %, aber welches Modell ist schon 100 % ?

Hello Dr. Wolf, the Italian wagon had a different bodywork from the O10 wagon, the sides are higher and the two heads had a raised shape to be able to mount a tarpaulin to cover the wagon. It also existed in two main variants, an older one with a wooden body and a more modern one with a metal body.

I designed this project of this small carriage to be able to test a commercial filament 3D printer and see what the maximum detail achievable is.
I have already printed a prototype to correct any errors, so the photos of the model do not fully reflect the computer renderings because corrections have already been made to the drawings; some details like handles and others are missing to print, other details are temporary such as the brass handles to open the front folding doors.
Some resin parts that I had at home were applied to the prototype to finish the assembly.
Like all my models, this wagon also has spring-operated buffers and the axles are mounted on ball bearings.
Small spiral springs will be applied between the leaf springs and the bearings to achieve isostatic suspension.

The version with the brakeman's box is now being prepared.

After the creation of the F wagon with wooden covers, the creation of the Fma series wagon was inevitable. The obvious difference is in the welded sheet metal roof, with a rounded shape and higher to increase the loading volume of the wagon. The acronym "ma" can in fact be translated into "high roof". Here are a couple of renderings waiting for the printed model.

Hello Antonio,

sorry for the late reply, but i was really sick the last 3 weeks ....looks really good, i have already got several 3d printed wagons from torsten paeth. The downside is, that you can see the lines of the printer, especially on flat surfaces. I guess it depends on what printer is used, but i am no expert in this.

What is the price for a cooling wagon with long wheelbase without the axles and the scew hooks?

Thank you

best regards

Robert

Hi Robert, the quality of the surfaces depends on the printer and the printing mode. If I'm not mistaken, Torsten Paeth's carriages are made with a filament printer. This printing mode makes the layers quite visible. My carriages are made with resin printer, which makes the layer lines less accentuated.
The problem with my prints is that being very detailed and with small rivets they are difficult to sand by hand; I'm trying to provide for this problem, maybe in the first months of 2025 I will have perfectly smooth prints (this type of printers are very expensive if they are large format). With a good quality base coat and paint the layer lines on my wagons tend to disappear anyway.

I'll write you a message for the cost of the carriage in the manner you request.

Antonio

Here are photos of the assembled F wagon. This is the first prototype, with some printing defects that have already been resolved. The result seems very good and detailed.

Hello Antonio,

is there a chance to buy one of the shown wagons?

Greetings

Hi Robert, it is possible to have my wagons in assembly kits or partially assembled and with gray primer paint, complete with all accessories (Dingler axles, ball bearings, screw hooks, air brake hooks). Write to me and I will give you all the necessary information.
