About this 3D model

This is a teaser from my new product I hope to release later this year. This is a motor to a 1/32 scale Treadwell Torpedo Ladle Car used in steel mills and foundries to transport and pour molten metal. The motor was used to drive a gear train that turned a massive gear mounted on the trunnion of the Torpedo Ladle. These DC motors were used in heavy industry as well on Mills and Cranes and were often called "Mill Motors". You can use your slicer program to scale it to other scales such as 1/35 (91.4%) or 1/24 (133.3%) You will have to use fine brass or copper wire to add the electrical leads as shown in the illustration.
