This detailed riveted vertical boiler prop recreates a compact two-drum steam boiler complete with rivet rows, a circumferential flange, a front hinged rectangular access door with strap hinges and latch, a pressure gauge on the upper drum, multiple valves and pipe fittings, and a vertical sight glass assembly with brass-style end fittings. Modeled proportions follow the source image: overall height ≈ 2.8 × drum diameter, lower drum slightly taller than the upper. The reference photo had a white rectangular occlusion over the upper-right fittings; that area is represented as a transparent placeholder in the model to avoid inventing unseen parts. The listing includes one master STL at 1:87 (HO) scale. Print recommendations: orient upright on the lower drum base, use supports for hinge straps, gauge bezel and sight glass fittings, and use 0.12–0.20 mm layer heights for fine rivet definition. Ideal uses: industrial dioramas, HO model-railroad layouts, tabletop terrain, and painting practice. No additional scale STLs are included; scale the HO master in your slicer if you need a different printed size.
Available railroad scales: Z (1:220), N (1:160), HO (1:87.1), S (1:64), O (1:48)
