Made an Articulated Doodlebug

>Let Me Know What you think of it, the holes in between the sections are for wires, uses circuit cubes, but can be modified of course as I designed it to be able to, and let me know what you think of the trucks as well

This wood box car is designed to fit a Mego LiPo Blunami DCC Sound system with all the sound chips, that way you can pull it behind a locomotive and not have to add sound to it and use it only when running. The electronics would be ungodly expensive for the single car, but if you have a bunch of locomotives planned like me that you're going to build one day, this car is perfect for you, as it cuts down costs in the end.

I designed it for functionality to fit as much electronics as possible

Let me know what you think of my snot techniques, I did them for the fun of it.

I also used a bunch of reverse tiles as they are my favorite type of tile and part.

Also let me know what you think of the trucks as well, as it's a standard to my builds and I'm quite proud of them btw.

It is a MOC of H&BT Wrecking crane no. 2, has working outriggers (3 on each side [6 in total]), and uses circuit cubes to power the crane.

Wanted to post these Lego Train Wheel Files for everyone here: it has Step, F3D (for editing), and STL files at the max resolution possible in Fusion 360.

Also, read the notes file on how to print them properly; and go slow when printing.

I should mention if you're using an FDM printer, use a 0.4mm nozzle (0.2mm, 0.1mm, or 0.05mm layer height), or a 0.2mm nozzle (0.1mm, or 0.05mm layer height) as the geometry is designed for them. Also, for Resin SLA Printing put the supports only on the bottom flat part of the train wheel. not touching the spokes or the axle/technic-bushing holes as the supports would be a pain to get out of those tiny spaces.

There are renders posted in the images, I didn't post every picture (it would be too much) as I also made blind variations of every wheel size 2-13, let me know what you think of them and the files.

Here's the OneDrive link:
