The Gauge One 3D Circle


The Gauge One 3D circle is a discussion group for railway modellers working to a track gauge of 1 3/4" or 45mm who are interested in modern manufacturing technologies.

The group aims are

(i) to share expertise in all forms of Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing as applied to Gauge 1 modelling,

(ii) to create a series of freely available high quality parameterised 3D models of Gauge 1 items.

The group is affiliated to the Gauge 1 Model Railway Association and all participants are encouraged to join G1MRA which is a wonderful source of technical information.

The group has a publicly visible discussion forum for general discussion of 3D printing in Gauge 1 at

   https://groups.io/g/GaugeOne3DCircle

and a subgroup dedicated to control systems for Gauge 1 models at

   https://https://gaugeone3dcircle.groups.io/g/control

All on-topic contributions are welcome.
