This is pretty interesting, using CAD to recreate machines that no longer exist – “Museums and history buffs have begun using CAD software for an exciting new application – breathing life into centuries past. “Industrial archeology” is the study and re-creation of machines, parts, vehicles, and buildings that may have vanished, been destroyed, gone obsolete, or perhaps never existed at all.” – Link.
Pictured here, the exact scale Blackline Plan Set of the famous Mason Bogie 2-6-6T.
Museums (and CAD studios who make the recreations) could kick it up even more and build virtual versions for 3D virtual worlds (and even sell them). I’d love to ride around in a 1879 Mason Bogie steam locomotive, and later send it off to a 3D printer.
