Pullman Troop Sleeper (Ladder version)

Files to make a Pullman WWII troop sleeper. This is the second version (9000 series) that had ladders at the side doors. After the war many of these cars were used by railroads in MOW service. Files are included to make the car as built, plus a modified roof file that has a hole and stack for a stove as used when in MOW service. Also included are window plug files that can be used to "plate" over windows to match your railroads practice. Interior details include toilets, sinks and seats.

Trucks are not included, but if you are running G scale I have a Allied Full cushion truck available on Cults which will match this car.

The car sides, roof and underframe are each three sections that pin and glue together. Each component is then assembled with screws (I used M2 screws). The roof is removable. The diaphragms are a separate piece which can be used or omitted depending opn your prototype. The underframe is set up for both Kadee No 1 and G coupler boxes. There is less swing with the 830 coupler box, you could also adapt a standard box to give more swing clearance. Pin alignment holes and hand grabs holes are scaled to fit 3/64" rod (if printing in 1:29 scale). There are also holes on the ends for using Ozark grab irons. There are parts for rigging the brake components and piping using 3/64" rod and Ozark bolt castings

The files are scaled to 1 mm = 1" (1/25.4 scale) so when printing your car adjust the % in your slicer based on your scale:

G scale (1:29) scale to 86%
O Scale (1/48) scale to 52%
S Scale (1/64) scale to 39%
HO Scale (1/87) scale to 29%

(All parts will fit a 220 x 220 mm plate filament printer when scaled to 86%)

I printed mine in very fine resolution on and Ender 3 filament printer in PLA. I printed the roof sections standing up on end to make the sloped areas come out smoother.
