A version of the ubiquitous 16T Mineral Wagon designed to be easy and fast to print and assemble. Almost as easy to disassemble, in order to replace any parts. Can be run with the wheels and axles as they are, or fitted with R144ZZ Bearings at any stage, without any further parts required.
Both Coarse and Fine G1MRA standard wheels and axles included.
Proven out on a Prusa Mk3 i3, in PETG
Here I have enlarged my 08 shunter to Gauge 3, 2.5-inch gauge. I did this some time ago, now final finishing a few things and tidying up the files.
To save space I've added zip file.

Update July 17, 2025.
As for the motor and gear boxes, let me suggest 600 rpm as a better choice. The 300 rpm will give a top scale speed of 20 mph. The 600rpm should do this at half throttle and allow for battery decay and loads.

This hook has been added following recent requests for a 3d printable one.
Some hooks are contained within various wagon models but this one was designed to replace a Northern Finescale plastic moulded hook.
No doubt laser cut steel hooks are much stronger but this hook when printed in PETG has been found strong enough for most applications.
The examples shown are printed in silver PETG (I would normally use black). Infill was 100%, layer height 0.1mm, a brim was included to aid bed adhesion.

My take on a SR milk tank wagon at 10mm scale.
Spacers to help lay double track.
Designed for Cliff Barker track, gauge widened (45.5 mm gauge)
These were designed for Cliff Barker track. There are two versions, 8mm wide and 9.4mm wide, and they give 1,2,3 or 4 mm superelevation. Best to glue or solvent weld them onto the sleeper bases - every three or four sleepers is fine.
This is the model for a SECR-designed and SECR/SR-built van to Diagram 1426. Several of these vans were rebuilt with ventilated sides for use on London-Dover-Folkestone fruit traffic, subsequently labelled as Diagram 1427. This van survived into BR revenue-earning service, and several becoming departmental vans in the black livery.
There were both unfitted and vacuum fitted versions, and a brake cylinder has been provided for the latter. You will need to source vacuum pipes yourself, however!
Please note a few caveats:
