Hello Hauk,

nice that it continues and in my view the best solution.

[Chuck Doan]

Nice.

You know, this thread is something I look forward to each and every time I log in. Also this time a simple but innovative approach that can also encourage those who have not (yet) the possibility of 3D printing!
I love your ore cars!

Cheers, Peter

Clever adaptation, good looking brake cranks. Will the brakes be functional?

Possible on one of the wagons. Hard to resist a little show-off potential...

Gorgeous!
What is the thread size/pitch?
May have to find a place to use some of those!
