Hi Everyone who enjoys Ho Swiss model railways.
I about to commission with someone in the UK to Draw 3d and 3d print Interlaken Ost Station.
As there is No kits about which I am surprised at I thought I would take the plunge. Babs

Hi Babs,
I like Swiss railways as I like all railways but I don’t love them (sorry!).
I am also surprised that there isn’t a kit available but I’m worried that it may be extremely expensive to 3D print such a station.
Might it be better to go for something where it is cut out of thin plywood or thick card by laser? I know it would still have to be assembled and painted etc. That may not be too difficult a task though, I’ve built a couple such kits and they go together quite easily.
Just a thought.
Good luck,
John E.

That will be impressive and it's a great excuse for a wide range of trains. I've been there a few times and once managed to catch a DB ICE2 train to Berne.

One particular memory is of the swallows which had made their nests in the platform canopy along side the station building.

Hi John & David I know what you say John about sort of Scratch building but I am useless. I am really into 3d printing. But i am no architect. This persons work is impressive I cannot share at the moment. The cost when you consider some of the larger Faller or Vollmer kits there is not much difference in the price I want this to be really special and I know what I am like about gluing Faller kits and so on I will ask if I can share by pics of this persons work.

Hi Babs,
Okay, no problem! It certainly will be a doddle for you if it is all printed.
Actually, I’ve just remembered, my H0 scale class 20 bodies were quite reasonably priced - when you first said 3D printed, I was thinking of Shapeways prices, they are extortionate.
Cheers,
John

What a beautiful station Babz and for something like that, it will be an investment. Nice one.

Reddo Thanks. For me it was not a difficult choice. Pictures will be available Early next year.

Hi John I will not be building it the guy who is doing it will give me the completed model.
Other wise I would just mess it up.
Babs. Ps do not let me near a bottle of glue and any plastic kits😄😄😄

Babz, did you get your model of Interlaken Ost designed and printed in the end? If so how does it look?

Pete Hi The Interlaken Station is still on the drawing stage it is being done on a part time basis. The 3D drawings i have seen are fabulous. I could not draw them myself
He then test prints in N Gauge and if all works well then the Ho version.
I have also ordered it in N Gauge for my N gauge Swiss Layout

I am building Interlaken Ost in HO/HOm and have been searching for a suitable quality station building or kit. Nothing close until I stumbled across your post on the forum. Would you mind if I asked for a model in HO to be built? - I will obviously contribute to any costs you have incurred to design the 3D cad work if you have had much outlay. I assume the 3D print is just a process based on the final CAD drawing.

Either way I will keep looking for updates with much interest.

Regards

Pete

It's Late but i thought i would share the progress of Interlaken Ost Station. This is preproduction in N Gauge. If Okay it will be scaled up to Ho. But i am having it both Gauges.I wish i was so Skilled I hope you like it.Babs

 

[Babz]

More progress on Interlaken Ost looking great in N & Ho

Further update Of this excellent 3D printing work.
