Update Oct 22, 2017: Added MexicanTrainBoxTopThin.stl which is a looser fit and is easier to remove than the other one. Also added MexicanTrainBox3mm.stl which is sturdier and has 3mm walls.
This is a Mexican Train set that includes everything except the dominoes. The set includes optional skins which greatly reduce the noise made when shuffling the dominoes. People with sensitive hearing (especially those with hearing aids) can be greatly annoyed by the shuffling noise. The skins are made with flexible filament (I used TPU) and are designed to fit a popular double twelve, 91 piece, domino set, such as: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004T71M/ .
The scoresheets are printed two-up on a sheet of paper. To make a scorepad, you can trim a stack of sheets so they are the same size. Place a weight on top of the pad so the top edge is exposed. Brush Elmer's glue on the edge. When the glue dries you will have a nice scorepad that will fit in the Mexican Train box.
The box is designed to hold the dominoes with skins and has room for the scorepad on top of the dominoes. The tray holds the center console and steam engine and sombrero pieces and has room for a mechanical pencil to rest on top.
The trains are from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2503080/files DOMINOES MUST BE SIZED TO 4mm x 25mm x 50mm in order to fit all 55 double nine dominoes into the tray I am a beginner when it comes to designing STLs. As a result, please thoroughly look over the preview after you slice it to make sure it will print properly. "
