Bombardier BiLevel

🥉Bronze Level: Model will be updated in the future to improve directions and include decals (Sept. 4 2023)

HO scale model of the Bombardier BiLevel Commuter Car. The car has become a staple in North American commuter service with over 1,500 built and more being produced. This contains all the files needed to print your own. The trucks for the BiLevel still need some refinement to get the unique outer disc brake effect and operational capabilities. In addition to the 3D printed parts some screws are required for assembly.
