Mini Train - Functional China Diorama

Mini Train - Functional China Diorama

And here’s another new mini train diorama!

This time, I chose China as the theme!

The train passes by the Great Wall of China and Tiananmen Square (天安門廣場 / 天安门广场) with the Great Hall of the People(人民大會堂 / 人民大会堂), and ends at Beijing Main Station. For the train, I took inspiration from the Qinghai–Tibet Railway.

I hope that’s the correct name.

I based everything solely on reference images — of course, the scales aren’t 100% accurate, but that’s intentional.

As with the previous dioramas, you can turn the hand-wheel on the outside to let the little train drive forward.

Watch in Action on YouTube 

The new Qinghai–Tibet Railway is compatible to the previous designs.

All printed parts are designed to get an good result with a 0,4 nozzle and with minimal color changes to reduce waste.

Have a look at the great Motorization solution!

Printing:

Following PLA Basic Filaments are used 

Silver 

Brown

Black

Beige

Mistletoe Green 

Green

Yellow (Train)

Other colors are possible of course, look what you have in stock. 

I think it could be easy done with single color, if you want to color from hand. 

I printed with a 0,4mm nozzle! Iam very pleased with the result, but you can try a 0,2 nozzle as well.

Assembly:

6pcs round 4x2 magnets are needed for the functional assembly.

You can also have a look at a assembly video from a similar model from the series: https://youtube.com/shorts/aC1mAvE9HNI

Insert 3pcs Magnets in the train and wagons with same polarityInsert 3pcs Magnets in the 3 pins all with same polarity but opposite direction than before! The Pins must attract the train!Insert the 3 pins now and use the train to hold them in place.Arrange pins and magnet approximately like thisPress the wheel in position. Check if all 3 pins are cached from the hand-wheel.

• Terrain on top of the base and press trees in the holes. You can add a bit of glue to combine.
• Place the train to the magnetic position and have fun 😀👍

I hope you like this little project.
