News
- Started building a database of the world's railway vehicle classes
We have collected the classes on Wikidata (14,318, excluding Japan) and are preparing a search page, RDF and IIIF. We aim to enter the LOD Challenge 2026.
- Published 14 3D models
Bodies of SkyTrain, ICE T, Amtrak Cascades Airo, AVE 102 and the TransLink route 49 articulated bus.
About
We collect railway vehicle classes (groups of vehicles built to the same design) from Wikidata and other authorities. Japanese classes are not included.
The 3D models are bodies designed to fit a toy chassis. They are not scale models. Each model is linked to the class and livery it depicts.
