Looks amazing, and great detalization of the model! I wonder why the body did not warp the same as the chassis

[@bluebellModelrailway]

A couple of reasons. The printer is only so big, and it's cost and size and time, as the body shell is the main spine of the model and self supporting when fixed to the main body shell the floor would be held straight. Secondly the floor has to have recesses for wheels this is thinner and less supported and the ends will warp. As mentioned the body is the main structure.. If you don't have a strong body shell design this will warp also.

@@bluebellModelrailway in what orientation did you print the body? I am asking, because my prints warp heavily even if they are designed as a self-supported box.

[@bluebellModelrailway]

It's rotated on 3 axis and printed roof facing the build platform and built from a point on the corner 30 degree's on 3 axis plus also wall thickness is 0.9mm.
