01 /The design
A steam locomotive with its carriage.
Start with the locomotive shown above, then add the railway carriage included in the design. The train combines a long boiler, open cab and running gear with a separate carriage build.
The locomotive design includes moving wheels and pistons. Its listed length is 389 mm; the carriage is 276 mm long. Use the assembly guide for the mechanism rather than treating the display visualization as a construction drawing.
Two builds
Locomotive and carriage files are included in the same project.
Moving parts
The locomotive is designed with moving wheels and pistons.
13 sheets
The supplied 3 mm layout uses thirteen 280 × 280 mm sheets.

02 /At your workbench
Choose your material.Make it fit.
Measure first.
Check your actual material thickness and the matching file version. Test the slots and kerf on a small cut.
Check the layout.
Open the supplied design in compatible laser software. Check that the layout fits your machine’s usable work area.
Follow the guide.
Use the PDF assembly guide to identify the parts and work through the construction sequence.
Plan this build.
Plan material for both vehicles. Check the 280 × 280 mm sheet layout against your laser's usable area, and follow the PDF guide for the wheels and pistons.
At the 3 mm material scale, no individual part exceeds 290 mm. This refers to one part, not the assembled model or the whole cutting layout. Rescaling changes that limit.

Does the download include a carriage?
Yes. The download includes locomotive and carriage design files. The hero image shows the locomotive. Listed dimensions are 389 × 156 × 112 mm for the locomotive and 276 × 147 × 100 mm for the carriage, in length × width × height order.
What do I receive?
Digital SVG and DXF design files and a PDF assembly guide. No physical model, material or hardware is shipped.
Can I change the scale?
Scale every part equally. Slots and tabs change with the design, so the material thickness must change in the same proportion; the finished dimensions also change. Test the fit and kerf before cutting all the parts.
Can I use the design commercially?
Contact 21CNCStudio to discuss permission before commercial use. The digital files may not be distributed without the author's permission.
