We began by looking at the schematic for the train cab. Writing the train cab code by hand proved difficult; however, using a free trial of CutViewer Mill helped with visualizing the tool motions and aided code development.

The first run of my handwritten g-code caused the spot drill tool to crash into my part. After I reviewed the code I realized I incorrectly referenced the spot drill tool length.

After the first run the part was flipped and the offsets were mirrored. Then the part was placed upright for a final boring operation.
The smokestack and boiler are turned from the same piece of stock. The profile from the schematic was inputted into Mastercam to generate the g-code.

The final machined parts only required minor deburring.

This is the completed product before anodization.

Here is the final anodized assembly. I am really pleased with how my project came out.
