VR N Scale Models

The Victorian Railways (VR), trading from 1974 as VicRail, was the state-owned operator of most rail transport in the Australian state of Victoria from 1859 to 1983. The first railways in Victoria were private companies, but when these companies failed or defaulted, the Victorian Railways was established to take over their operations. The Victorian Railways operated a wide variety of locomotives and rolling stock to provide passenger and goods services. From Wikipedia.

The work continues in OpenSCAD with the redrawing of the VR E class (box cab) model and the production of a new design (BZ carriage).

For those who are interested, I have uploaded the vector art file for a pair of T-TRAK single modules to Thingiverse. This design is intended for cutting in 6 mm plywood (or equivalent) material and allows for "no-tool" assembly using hobby glue (although a hammer and wood block may help when connecting pieces together). Avoid performing any "trial fit" before you are ready to glue the module together as this merely loosens the fit between module pieces.
it s intended that this design is equivalent to commercial T-TRAK module offerings available from Masterpiece Modules and CMR Products.

The prototype laser-cut T-Trak double module arrived today and went together perfectly. Even though it looks like the original plywood sheet was a little bowed, it has still been able to be assembled using just wood glue and without tools. I am very happy with this first prototype.
