Thank you Dr Chris
Wow, I thought by the looks of those coaches and your photo above that they were from a kit as they didn't look to be 3D printed as you can't see the 'layers' in the plastic unlike his other custom rolling stock. Could this be some kind of new and improved printer type or filament? Hmmm...I wonder.

I also wonder why the 'roof' piece looks to have been sliced in half?

I think there are two possible reasons as to why you can't see the layer lines:
1)It's been sanded
2)It's printed on a resin printer
Following Chrisjo's Link above, this image showed up...

That's a Kingroon KP3, a budget self-assembly printer from China that came out maybe 3 years ago. 



It's been superseded by the KP3S.
How are you finding all those smashing videos you make threads about, unless other users send you them via PM?

Either way, that's some very high quality rolling stock for such an odd looking consist (giant goat, merry-go-round, autorack, some satellite/telescope looking thing and... Iron Dome launchers?!). They even made their own DD51 because the Plarail versions are too small. Noncommercial 3D printing has come a long way since the threads here were opened. I've looked at their channel, and they seem more into making RC helicopters than Plarail and the likes. Would be great to see more from them one day. One of the only things I don't get is why the wheels are spoked when they should be flat. If cost were the problem, they could've easily been filled in or covered on one side after printing.

As always, thank you for sharing (and Chrisjo for the extra info).
Thanks for the video Link Dr Chris 👍
