The LV cars were rebuilt double door cars, leaving the left door inplace. They had recessed straight side sills. The car appears to befishbelly. This is most likely a B&O M12. Pennsy took overB&O

Well, if you're more comfortable writting code than learning 3D CAD, I'm sure you'll be able to find a printer that understands G-code! :-) ------------------------ Arved Grass Fleming Island,

Precision Scale also did 6 dome wine tank cars; I have one each of the Madera and Martini Winery cars, SHPX 6611 and 6614 respectively. Thanks! -- Brian Ehni From: STMFC List

The ALPS¹s ability to print white was just one positive aspect; the ability to print real metallic gold and silver were others. Thanks! -- Brian Ehni From: STMFC List

I've just posted a new write-up on my blog about prototype and model wine tank cars, including a link to a sale price on some Ready-to-Run model wine cars. If you're interested, you can read it at

I don't think you could overstate the hugeness of this one point. Our closets and library shelves are filled with errors that will never be corrected. If your resource is dynamic and on line, once

IIRC, at least on of them printed decals on ALPS printers. Lack of drivers for current OSs and the discontinuance of supplies by ALPS may have figured into the business plan of these companies. ALPS

Oh they have... but not at the DIY price-point of the ALPS. e.g. http://www.rolanddga.com/products/printcut/versavsi/ (with -8- Ink cartridges!!!) The only way out seems to be that this type of

I end up using both. After several lesser experiments, I put a full size desktop computer with a large monitor on my train shop bench. I use it a lot, but - you can't lay styrene on your computer

Yep. I was at the local computer superstore a couple weeks ago, and they had a bunch of 3d printers for sale, from $500 on up to $3500. None of them anywhere near fine enough for HO scale modeling,

Hi Brian and list members, Brian of course makes a good point that I neglected to mention. I scan all the paper resources I think I will need for a given project in a way that they will be available

Ouch. I've been buying and seeking a lot of those indie decal sheets lately, particularly Mark Vaughn and another guy who was selling a lot of different sets at St. Louis last year. If they're using

I was involved in a modular group for some years off and on. It had fairly loose standards and virtually no standards in terms of continuity or any minimum level of detail. That was ok with me, the
