Hello All,
I am starting a thread which focusses on making models of Indian Railways in HO (1:87) scale. It's my dream to make exact replica of real trains. Model making is my passion and can work for long hours to capture smallest details.

I am not a professional model maker but learned everything on my own and by searching for tips on internet on how to make great scale models and learning and applying these techniques. Using of CAD, laser cutters and 3d printing has improved overall quality of models by reducing errors, time requirement.

I started working on WAP-4 model and recently finished it. Same is available in thread Making of WAP-4 Locomotive in RCIndia.  But need to improve on it hence one more mock model which I will share soon.

Now I am working on double decker LHB coaches and recently finished making of its Fiat bogie in HO scale. For making bogies 3d model was developed in CAD and then 3d printer was used. Here is final output. Hope you will like it.

Nice 

Wonderful to see that now you are making the undercarriage too.
Regards
