Although it's free-lanced, this one could plausibly pass for a 35-40 ton, 350-400 HP model. Shapeways body fits on a Kato N scale NW2 mechanism. Excellent, smooth slow speed running characteristics. Respectfully, Bob S.
Available to anyone. Go to Shapeways, search on HOn30 and scroll around till you find it. Tom's "designer name" is TeeBee. You can also see the chatter between the two of us on adjusting the width of the hood to fit the Kato mechanism. Fitting it to the mechanism was pretty easy once the width of the hood was correct. I added two .040 styrene pads fore and aft, spaced to catch the small tabs on each end. That done, the body slips on easily. I added a few piece of masking tape to the sides of the mechanism to give it just enough friction so I can pick the engine up without the body slipping off the mechanism. Nothing could be simpler.
