Found a post on a G gauge site, a fellow who designed a 3D printed PRR N8 caboose, one of my favorites. He would not sell me the 3D models, but provided me with parts. Was able to modify his 3D models (which are posted on Thingiverse for download) to standard gauge width, and used bushings and 400 series wheels for std. I designed and printed the rather heavy stantions for the Trainphone antenna. Next ones will be thinner!
The second car is from a beat up Lionel 217 I picked up at York this spring for $25. Added the streamlined cupola on top, removed the brass end rails and added the 3D printed ones with the beams ala PRR, and cut away the heavy frame.
Markings on both are my own, cut on a vinyl printer at the local library.
