    Project 2.3.

    1a – Miniature Train
    Purpose
    Have you ever ridden on a train or owned a train set? The parts that make up the
    engine car on a train can vary depending on the make and model; however, all train
    engine cars have parts that are similar.

    Collecting miniature trains or small replica versions of full size trains is a popular
    hobby for all ages. Some train collectors showcase their collection for everyone to
    see. They even build small scale towns and background scenery that trains run
    through while in the showcase. It is evident the time and detail that many train
    enthusiasts spend and create to make the showcase come to life.

    Being able to read dimensioned drawings of an object is an important engineering


    skill. Understanding how to transpose these drawings into computer models of parts
    is also important. As you have learned in previous lessons, a sketch serves as the
    foundation for all the technical work that comes afterward. Being able to perform this
    technical work is an obvious must. Relaying this technical work correctly is a skill
    that allows a group of people to function as a design team.

    Equipment
    • Computer with 3D CAD solid modeling program
    • Printer
    • Engineer’s notebook

    Procedure
    This project will provide you with an opportunity to further develop your modeling
    skills, as well as your ability to use the computer as an efficient communication tool.

    What you learned in the past two lessons will be systematically applied to this
    project.

    In this project, you will model the parts needed for the Miniature Train Assembly.
    The parts with the dimensions are listed below.

    Conclusion
    1. Why are drawings composed of different line conventions?

    2. What is the purpose of a sectional view?

    3. What is the purpose of an auxiliary view?

    4. Why are symbols used instead of words to identify hole types?

    5. What advantage is there to using algebraic equations instead of numerical values
    when defining the dimensions of a CAD model?

    6. What three types of constraints can be applied to CAD sketches or models?

    7. What advantages do CAD drawings have over paper sketches?
