3D model description
(French text at the end)
The manufacturing adjustments were made using :
Arnold Rapido's rocking car unloading device has been available to hobbyists since 2022. Now it has been combined with two additional elements to create a complete unloading station. These are :
a base on which 2 rails are glued. At this level, all wagons will be able to circulate, whether they are functional or not.
an intermediate level equipped with slopes to receive the loads unloaded by the wagons and direct them towards the loading nozzle. The height of the nozzle allows a train pulled by an SNCF diesel locomotive to through. If required, this module can be raised with a wedge.
at the top are glued the old elements already available, which will tip the Arnold Rapido wagons to be emptied of their load.
Arnold Rapido rocking cars ref 4480 are no longer available. They are available on the second-hand market. Sometimes they are offered without a storage box. This should not be an obstacle to your purchase. A storage box for 6 of these wagons is available from the following addresse:
As a reminder: the best results when printing the element that causes the wagons to tilt were obtained in the standing position (staircase up).
