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.

There you go! You need an LGB switcher for a parts loco.
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?
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)
