Dom, thanks for the kind words. The building looks quite good on my layout, so I’m a happy camper.
rray - thanks for the information. I expect I will move in that direction as time goes on and my skills improve. I printed the entire structure...
Thank you! I won’t lose the recommendation this time.
CNE1899 - thanks for your advice and kind comments. You can bet I’ll learn to compensate. This is only the first try. rray - I’ll get some of the...
Thanks to each of you. Those are all ideas I can try. I am using a resin printer--still getting the hang of it. The first railroad item I...
Here is my first attempt at making a building from scratch. I have no previous modeling experience apart from printing a building that I found on...
Thanks for the advice. I'll follow it.
I am thoroughly impressed! I am new to z-scale. I have scratch-built several buildings for n-scale, but those were just coarse constructions...
I bought my SD40-2 last August, so I'd say it's second gen. As I posted above, I had to make the springs/kapton tape mod to install the DZ123MO...

I'm just getting into z-scale. Wanting to see some, I took a trip down to my friendly neighborhood supplier (40 miles each way) to see what sort...
I finally got the time to install the DZ123MO into the locomotive. I took the obvious route, which is the same as the one that tjdreams used in...
In case anyone is interested, I contacted NCE about their MZA4 decoder, which was an easy install in this locomotive. Here is the response:...
Thanks. I hope to leave the frame alone. Perhaps I can find a way to route wires to the right places. It won’t hurt to try. I would rather risk...
tjdreams, thanks for the suggestion. If you look carefully at the photo I posted, you will see that the frame on my loco is not the same as the...
