I’m looking for anyone doing custom 3D printing. I’m looking to convert a USATrains s4 into a 1:24 model. Any help would be appreciated.

Todd,

Define “convert” What do you have so far?

Dan, i Have a complete s4. What I’m looking to do is rework the cab. Allow for a bigger rear door and do away with the front door and make it a window. Maybe heighten the cab? So a 1:24 figure could plausibly fit. All while fitting on original frame and long hood.

I’m thinking your best bet is to contact Mark Dash https://www.facebook.com/KLW3DPrinting/ He has drawn up and printed a bunch of Alcos including a T6 which looks to have the same cab. He should be able to modify it to your specs.

Thanks Dan, email sent. I didn’t think he did anything but his kits? Well give it a try.
