On one of my random web searches this morning, I came across a forum discussing North American TT modeling.  Now, I'm all for oddball models, scales, and gauges, but as I read of the difficulties of finding models, having to use rebuilt toys, and regauging HO or N scale mechanisms to use on 12 mm track, I found myself wondering, why would anyone bother?

Here are some test prints I did to see what the printer will do.  In five months this will be old technology (It really is already, the better 3D printers are just our of my price range).  These are HO scale.  A lot of adjustments to make, and a learning curve to negotiate. These are straight from the printer, just the raft and support material removed, no real clean-up.  Also, I need to get better at removing both.

I am working on putting together a C&O cabin (QN cabin to be exact, yes like the one in the other thread).  Being as Quinnimont WV is the first thing you see when you enter my layout and being as QN Cabin is pivitol in the sceane I am taking my time and trying to do a good job on this.  One thing I noted when I first put it on my layout  (in very roughed out form) is that with all the windows and being at close to eye level and only a couple feet into the layout it is VERY easy to see into the upperlevel of the builder where the controls should logically be.

Here are some pictures of the strainers I use and some of the results.
