[@stuartsherman5975]

Well executed.

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Thank you but it needs really wide curves and no obstructions! Just like the real one! lol

[@sunnysiderails397]

Love it!!! So cool how you did the video with the rail life inspiration and then your Gscale version, really well done and love your Garden train! -Ken

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Thank you! Now that I'm basically done designing it I can know sleep better! :)

[@DavesTrainsAndAutomobiles]

Amazing work Ron, i always look forward to your builds, and this was definitely over the top.... WOW 😎👍

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Thank Dave! I think I went overboard a little, but the vision came true because I just had to do it! Now where do I put it?

[@whatshislips8435]

This is slightly beyond amazing.....Kudos....

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Now my next question is........ what do I do now! :) lol

[@naxshack]

Super cool G-Scale BNSFs! Great vid! -Brian

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Thank You! It was fun making it and running it! I just need a lot of room! :)

[@CapeCodTrainTodd]

WOW that looks Great! Nice job. Someday I'm gonna build a Schnabel. I never thought to 3D print the parts.

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Thank you! I'm still thinking about posting on the Prusa printables page, let me know if you're interested in that.

[@Mikey45013]

That turned out awesome

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Thank you! I still have modifications to do to make it better plus where to store it!

[@BillNichols-b9r]

Top shelf model work 10 plus

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Thank you! It took about two months of design and trial and error of parts making, but it was fun! :)

[@petrtrain7942]

Very nice.

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Thank You!

[@l.houstonriggs2414]

Looks fantastic

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Thank you! There was a lot of trial and error to get it there, now I have to figure our where to display it!

[@smartguyray3372]

Dude, this is remarkable!

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Thank You! It was so cool watching and time consuming to make! I'm trying to figure out a shorter but heavy load! Thanks for watching!

[@tissianegoes7196]

O

[@christianjones1850]

Looks great! I've been wanting to build on myself. Just haven't gotten around to designing it.

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Thank you! I'm still thinking about posting on the Prusa printables page, let me know if you're interested in that if you want to trial and error with my design.

[@christianjones1850]

I would be very interested, yes sir!@@Asylum_Graphics

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Ok I uploaded the .stl files to Prusa's printables page and my screen name is asylumph9 ! Let me know if you have any questions!🙂

[@Modeltrainscarsstereos614]

Yeeeeee hawwww dawg

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Thank You! It took a while, but I finally finished it!

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

Amazing work Ron, that's a beautiful piece of machinery. Can you build me one in N-scale just thought id ask thank you.

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Not sure about that but there is one 3D print Schnabel for N scale on eBay even a factory made one. Just do a search for Schnabel in N scale! Thanks for the interest and nice comment.!

[@2quintly]

Can you say, "clearance issues" ? Looks like the railroad there saw them coming, . . . . Super neat car (and train).

[@Asylum_Graphics]

Thanks! I had to be a track hog for this train: the middle track to run on and the inside and outside tracks for overhang! Good thing there wasn't too many members there that day! :)

[@Tandor69]

Amazing job! Are the files for the schnabel and flatbed cars available?

[@Asylum_Graphics]

I was thinking about posting them on the PRUSA Printables site one day but kinda leery of it. There's a lot of after printing steps involved for the Schnabel. Like 7mm aluminum rods in between each flat load deck plus 1/4" steel rods in the front of the decks. If you are good at figuring out things and tinkering then you will do fine. For the flat cars I was going to post and the 20' container I was too on the same sight. I'll respond again once I do! Thank you for the interest!

[@Tandor69]

I completely understand. It looks like a big undertaking. Keep up the great work and let us know if/when you post them.@@Asylum_Graphics

[@Asylum_Graphics]

I posted it on the Prusa Printables page you can find at: www.printables.com and my ID is asylumph9 . I only uploaded the flatcar, container box and the wheel dollies for now, I still have to think about the Schnabel, it's so long and heavy it sags a little bit. But if you still want it to experiment with it yourself let me know!
