I already own the N Scale CNJ Babyface Baldwin shells offered by PiperguyUMD on Shapeways. (They are very well done overall, but there are some aspects of the nose curvature that 3D printing cannot get 100 percent correct - but can be easily corrected) Someone else has produced N Scale Baldwin DR4-4-1500 shells in kit form that closely follow the New York Central and Missouri Pacific designs, both of which are distinctly different from the CNJ Baldwin freight locomotives. I would like to get my grubby paws on one or two of these. Does anybody have a line on availability? Respectfully, William Robertson
Hi I believe the shells are complete, it's just that I am building a different version, so Zsolt sent me enough parts to play with to make the CNJ version. Cheers Steve
The are lots of photos of the Baldwins and Black Marias on the Yahoo Groups "Alco, Baldwin & FM" page. Cheers Steve
Zsolt posts his photos on Yahoo Groups, so that's where you'll find them. If you can't locate them there, send me a PM. Cheers Steve
Mr. Robertson, I was the customer who commisioned Piperguy to produce the CNJ Babyface freight units. The units were scaled from prints from Pennsylvania State Archives. These prints were also used by the ARHS to produce the HO version that they sold. I can only say that every effort was made to produce a loco that conformed to the prototype. There are a few more Anthracite railroad projects in the works. George Picyk
