With this set, you can replace or repair any piece of your Noel Holiday Candle Train, be it something as small as a broken wheel or as major as a completely wrecked locomotive! Or, if your own set is still in good shape, why not print out a few complete sets and give them away to your friends and family?
This particular set was made in 1983. There is a model number on the box (XA-501), but unfortunatley, there is no reference to any manufacturer.
The model has been broken up into individual color comonents to not only aid in printing, but to allow you to print only the replacement parts that you need. Once printed, simply attach with the adhesive of your choice (I used superglue) and paint the design elements as desired.
In the photos, you can see the original set; the original box; the 3d printed replacement set; and a completed, 3d printed 'L' car along side it's original wooden component.
EDIT:
Be sure to take a look at the Custom Case for the Noel Holiday Candle Train
✞ Merry Christmas ✞
You can print the locomotive in one of two ways - either without the smokestack (to allow for multicolor printing) or with the smokestack (for easier assembly, but will require painting).
Supports are not needs for most parts if printed in the orientation presented, although you will need supports enabled for all of the white pieces.
For optimal compatibility with the original set, the following colors are suggested for printing:
- green
loco-roof
loco-pusher
loco-smokestack_bulge
car-wheels_x16 - red
loco-wo_smokestack
loco-lights_x2
cars-platforms_x4 - black
loco-frontwheels_x4
loco-rearwheels_x2
loco-smokestack_cap - white
cars-N
cars-O
cars-E
cars-L
santa (painted after printing) - gold
loco-smokestack_ring
