The main reason for modelling this locomotive was to try to make gears. There is an external downloadable addon “Gear” that makes the making of gears really easy in FreeCAD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certain parts were modelled as one part. This was done because of a limited amount of RAM (8 GB). Naturally, a merging of different parts isn’t a right way to model things. Nevertheless, it seems that the model loads a little bit faster when all parts are added to one assembly instead of using several sub-assenblies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
