About the Remutaka Rail Trail
The Remutaka Rail Trail is a walking and cycling track in the North Island of New Zealand. It runs between Maymorn and Cross Creek, and follows 22 kilometres (14 mi) of the original route of the Wairarapa Line over the Remutaka Range between the Mangaroa Valley and the Wairarapa, including the historic Rimutaka Incline on the Wairarapa side. Parts of the trail are also used by vehicles both from the regional council and from forestry companies with tree plantations in the area; members of the public have limited vehicular access from the Kaitoke end to a car park, go-kart track and gun range. Access is also granted by permission to horse riders. Touring coaches have been used upon occasion to convey tourists and other visitors to various parts of the route.

About this route in 3D
Open the designer and the real Remutaka Rail Trail becomes a solid topographic model: the route rides on top of true elevation terrain, surrounding peaks and valleys included, with automatic place labels for the towns and landmarks along the way.
Everything is editable. Swap in your own dates, rename the labels, change the base shape, or replace the route entirely with the trip YOU took. The model you see is the model you get, as a watertight file ready for any 3D printer, or as a finished print made by us.
How it works
- Open the Remutaka Rail Trail in our 3D designer. Real terrain, real elevation, in your browser.
- Make it yours: use your own route, dates, labels, size and shape.
- Download the printable STL file, or order a finished 3D print. We ship to 50 countries, with optional wood frame and LED base.
Common questions
- Is this the real terrain of the Remutaka Rail Trail?
- Yes. The 3D model is built from real elevation data, so every climb, ridge and valley along the Remutaka Rail Trail appears at true relative height.
- Can I use my own route instead?
- Yes. The designer accepts your Google Timeline export, geo-tagged photos, or a route you draw by hand. The Remutaka Rail Trail is just the starting point.
- How do I get the finished model?
- Two ways: download a printable STL or GLB file for your own 3D printer, or order a finished print and we make it and ship it. We deliver to 50 countries, with optional wood frame and LED base.
- Can I download the Remutaka Rail Trail as an STL file for my own 3D printer?
- Yes. The printable STL (or GLB) file of the Remutaka Rail Trail costs $10, one token, and is watertight and ready to slice. You can also change the size, base shape and labels before you export it.
