Large Scale Central

Whitcomb 35DE

Giving this a shot in resin. A Whitcomb 35DE 35 ton switcher. Larger than the Davenport. This is an HO file, scaled up to 1:20.3 and modified so it’ll print. Not sure what I’m going to use for a mech yet. Hood fresh off the printer.

Hood is about the same size as the LGB loco hood, but the loco will be larger overall.

There you go! You need an LGB switcher for a parts loco. :grinning:

Bob;

Looking good! I always wish Bachmann had done the 60+ ton Whitcomb with side rods instead of that GE 44 tonner that took out tunnel portals and mail cranes. They have made the Whitcomb in On30. It’s a shame they won’t repeat it in 1:20.

Best, David Meashey

All right Bob, how much are the kits? :smiley:

where is the missing “W” on the front of the hood?
looks like you had a little distortion during printing on one side of the hood.
may need more supports, but i find big parts like this can be fun to print these boilers for the Barnhart have been fun, the one on the right had a failure that i sanded down and have since made a replacement piece for.

The W is on the hood top (to be printed)
