Locos and rolling stock
I wonder if this would work?
I have, on more than one occasion, bemoaned the lack of 57"-58" steam locomotive drivers in HO scale. Since I've been playing with 3D printing lately, I decided to see if it would even be remotely possible to have Shapeways make me a driver. This is what I came up with:
Details West Boxcar Protoype info
Hello MRH's
At the Springfield show I purchased a couple of Details West kits. Here is a couple of pictures. The first is a single door boxcar and the other a double door boxcar. Does anyone know what prototype cars these are supposed to model? Thanks for any help.
What engine did these drivers come from?
Does anybody know what model these drivers came from? I need quite a few 58" drivers, so it would be handy to find another source. It turns out that the size is kind of rare..

Genesis GP15-1 sounds like there are rocks in the speaker
I have a Athearn Genesis GP15-1 (DCC with sound) that sounds like it has something rattling around in the speaker. The bad sound is still there if I have the speaker out of the loco. I have used 3 different speakers and get the same scratchy sound. I am beginning to think it is in the sound files.
Anybody else have this problem? And, of course, any solutions?
I have another Genesis GP15-1 that was a non-sound, DC version. I installed a Tsunami GN1000 decoder, the install was easy and the sound is good.
Great Northern EMD NW3 Switcher
I am planning on scratch building/kit bashing a HO model of the Great Northern EMD NW3 diesel locomotives built in 1939-1942.
While I have found several photos and general information I have been unable to find a set of plans or drawings of this locomotive. I've checked all the web sites I can find and contacted several GN type people but no luck.
Is this a joke? GE label on EMD unit !!?
Found this today.
It must be a joke - right?
look closely...
really? maybe there is a rational explanation for this.

Exciting times - 3D printed locomotive cab
I just got a package today! Inside was my first attempt at a 3D printed locomotive cab from Shapeways, and I am pleased to report that it looks like it turned out beautifully.
I printed all of the doors and windows (both open and closed versions) inside the cab:
A little help putting a Genesis GP51-1 shell back on the chassis.
I bought a GP15-1 that was DC only and installed a Tsunami GN1000 (Drop in replacement) and now can't seem to get the shell back on. (No, not speaker interference, can't even get that far). Every thing is tested and all hunky dory... except for getting the shell back on.
I saw a YouTube video about taking the shell off and that was helpful. No luck about finding something about putting it back on. I can't figure out where the problem is. This is the first time I've removed a Genesis shell.
