Pete's 3D Designs Model Railways

After being in a model club for a number of years, it’s time to get

My new industrial skips have proved to be popular despite other people having the design online. This design comes in resin and FDM variants.

I have been designing models for my model railway for some time now, when I started I decided to share these with other modellers. I sell for a small fee that helps me research, design and share future designs. All my designs are tested before sharing and have a helpful description.

I am now selling through MyMiniFactory.com. In time, I will be moving from CGTrader to MyMiniFactory.com, as CGTrader has become too restrictive for selling items to other railway modellers.
I am in the process of uploading my designs to MyMiniFactory.

One of my popular designs is my low-relief retaining walls. Lots of modellers use walls like this for the back scene of their layout.

This model design can be found:
