Upon visiting the Railroad Hobby Show in Massachusetts last week, I was blown away by the range of miniature trains and scenery. One vendor that stuck out of the herd due to the overall level of artistry was Atlantic Scale Modelers run by Hal Reynolds. The detail on his scenes is downright incredible, from the vegetation made from individual pieces of thread to weathered shingles.
See for yourself below:
We love connecting with the model train community and learning more about what makes this community excited and motivated to design. With our materials and technology, there is so much these modelers can do to add to their collections and we’re excited to see more amazing scenes at shows throughout the year!
For more scale models you can check out the Shapeways Miniatures marketplace.
They look absolutely amazing!
Zero 3d printing involved though if you check the somewhat dated website (laser-cut plywood apparently) also failrly large (O scale) which explains the level of detail…
I agree with mkroeder, no 3d printing at all. If you want to see real 3d printed parts for train models please check my shop

Hey Guys, we love all scale model trains and think they are worth sharing, regardless of the process by which they were made. I hope articles like these can serve as inspiration for future 3D printed projects 🙂
PS the shop looks great @SmallTrains 😀
This is awesome!! I really want to kiss the people who made this. I NEED to kiss them!
