From file to workbench

Before the first cut.

Start with the design you want to build, then check its file version against your material and machine.

Choose the build.

The locomotives and tender are freestanding models. For the Big Boy pair, the locomotive and tender are separate designs.

Check your cutting area.

At the 3 mm material scale, no individual part exceeds 290 mm. Rescaling changes the part sizes too. See each model for file formats and assembly instructions.

Test the fit.

Material thickness and the width of the laser cut affect how parts meet. Cut a small joint sample before committing a whole sheet, and adjust the fit for your setup.

A few things
to know.

Am I buying a finished train?

No. These are digital designs for laser cutting. You supply the material, cut the parts and assemble the project. Open a model to see its details and where to get the files.

Do all models use the same thickness?

Check the individual design. Available thicknesses and formats vary, so choose the drawing that matches your material. For a locomotive and tender pair, use matching material versions.

Can I change the size?

Scaling the whole drawing changes the finished dimensions and the slots together. Match the scale to your material, check the cutting area and test a joint first. Laser Studio can help prepare an SVG version.

Is the Big Boy tender included with the locomotive?

No. The Big Boy locomotive and its matching tender have separate files and are sold separately.
