3D PRINT a STEAM TRAIN 🚂 With Steam, Live Camera Streaming & Wifi Controls

3D Print an entire RC model railway (indoor or outdoor) including a wifi controlled steam locomotive which streams a live video feed to your mobile and blows steam out its funnel!
This video is sponsored by PCBway. 👇 More info below 👇

Follow my detailed guide to build your very own indoor or outdoor garden railway and model train with working steam effect.

Built to an O gauge scale you can use your existing tracks or print new ones on your printer. The train itself is powered by a lithium ion battery pack (dead rail) and is controlled using wifi from your phone via the rain own onboard ad-hoc wifi network. This is all made possible thanks to the ESP32-CAM and some simple electronics.

PCBWay provide rapid turnaround of both PCBs and 3D printed components. Find out more about having them 3D print your train here: https://www.pcbway.com/rapid-prototyp...
