B/O Tomica/Motor Tomica/Plaroad connecting clip replacement
|
Replacement clip for the common
Tomy road used in the 90s and 2000s. Over time the clip that catches
on the protrusion of the connecting road can snap off. This drop-in
replacement clip provides a decent grip, even when used on both
halves of a road joint. The clip is slightly oversized and is meant
to be filed down after printing to fit a particular joint. They are
a little bit loose of a friction fit inside the original plastic
molding around the joint and should probably be glued in place for
long term use.
I printed my test pieces at the default
"standard quality" settings in Creality Slicer 3.8 and then did the
final prints in "super quality." The print time was about four
minutes at standard and nine minutes at super. |

DD51 body
shell clip replacement |
Small
replacement clip that should fit all variants of the DD51 with
clip-on shell. Sand down the thinnest portion of the clip on the
"top" side and apply glue on the same area and then hold it all the
way forward in the protruded portion of the molding inside the DD51
shell in the same position as the original clips. I printed these at
"Super Quality" with 10% infill but I think they would come out ok
at lower settings, especially if you sand down any rough corners.
I use cheap paint pens to color white prints to match the body
shell it is attached to after gluing (I have only ever bought white
3D printer filament). |

EF15 body shell clip replacement
v2 -
left |
right
v3 -
left |
right |
Small
replacement clips for the EF15 top shell. There is a "right" and
"left" clip as the protrusion that is glued to the body must fit
around internal supports inside the shell. This internal
reinforcement seems to leave a small portion of the original clip
hanging down in some cases - v2 of the clip sits right against the
body shell while v3 fits below the small reinforced stub. A "left"
v3 clip is shown installed to the right, as well as both the left
and right clips.
Like the DD51 clip, sand down at least the
"top" side of the thinnest portion of the print and then glue it
into the case in the same position as the original clip, with the
extended support tongue nestling it between the protrusions in the
molding also providing support. |

"Long" Tomy coupling |
Longer style
rear loop coupling used on older D51s, DD51s, and some other
engines with longer chassis. I do not believe Tomy sold these as
replacement parts. I print these with supports to have the coupling
end be thicker on both sides like the original and then sand the
supports away. |

Mickey Poppo battery cover |
Battery/tender cover for old-power Mickey Poppos. Should also work
with new power types, but might need the "clips" extended downwards
like the original new power Mickey Poppo variant. Unlike the small
body clips, I don't think the paint pen method looks particularly
good here. The proper way to make these would probably be out of a
color-matching filament with plenty of sanding down for smoothness,
although some of the recesses can be hard to get into. |

Amusement park train parts |
A number of
pieces to replace broken components of the Child Guidance/Amusement
Park trains. Pieces work best printed in high quality and do not
take that long to print (the longest take about 20 minutes).
The
front contact holder can be glued into the front of the chassis
and holds the front battery contact.
The
bottom bracket clip can be glued to the chassis and replaces the
original clip that holds the activation tab bracket onto the bottom
of the train.
The
rear contact holder is also glued into the chassis and holds the
rear battery contact in place.
The
wheel clips
replace two broken tabs on the gearbox carrier plate that are
sometimes broken and prevent the rear wheels from sitting in the
gearbox correctly.
The
rear screw post replacement piece can be glued in to the back of
the chassis if the original screw post is broken. The original post
needs to be cut away and filed down.

Park train repairs page. |

Amusement park stop track parts
20mm spacer
10 tooth gear |
20mm long
spacer and ten tooth gear for use on Child Guidance and Plarail
amusement park series stop rails. The original ten tooth gear
commonly splits and can fall off along with the plastic spacer over
time.
Although I do not usually like printing gears, the
shafts these gears ride on are 3mm in diameter instead of the
typical 2mm and the gears are in
simple and already loose gearings and can just about be managed by
my printer. With a little cleaning up after
printing at high quality I would describe them as working in a
pinch. |

Ticket Play Station cards and tickets
Orange card
Ticket |
Replacement
tickets for the Plarail Ticket Play Station which was first released
in the 1993
Doll Play Ticket Play Station Set and later individually.
The larger "orange card" prepaid train cards fit into the upper
slot and pressing the red lever dispenses a ticket from a stack of
up to six.
You don't really need to 3D print these, you could
just as easily cut down any decently rigid material, it was just
easy to throw the dimensions into Tinkercad without having to find
or cut down a suitable material. I printed mine in the "low quality"
preset with 10% infill. Eventually I would like to either scan or
potentially recreate the ticket design and make proper replacements
with appropriate graphics and coloration, but it may be easier to
just find a used but complete copy of the station |
