Looks amazing! Any progress on the Athearn version?

Iannacole, from what i've seen these 3-d printers get very very detailed. Apparently people have created an operating handgun using these printers.

And $25 is well worth something this custom and not made by anyone. I'de get one eventually.

An operating hand gun doesn't have the intricate details of a 1:87.1 scale train locomotive. I'm excited and skeptical at the same time.

The Athearn version should be ready soon.

Agreed, but I've also seen posts were folks were denied production of their item (if I recall one of the items was a Shay cab) because there wasn't enough material to maintain structural integrity.

Cab looks great to bad I don't model NS. Tha cab I'm wanting is the GE BQ cab in both N and HO.

This is easily fixed, which is why it hasnt been released into the wild yet. We have ordered the first cab from Shapeways and if there are and problems, we will correct them. When/if anybody reading this thread orders a cab, they will get a cab with zero hassle.

I'm thinking about that and some other Seaboard stuff. Why, I don't know, because I don't personally need it, but I guess I just think it's cool.

Nathan and I have already planned our next project we'll be doing as soon as these cabs are ready to roll, and it should have pretty widespread use.

The B23-7 was the only GE loco to get the BQ cab,but it was an option across the entire GE loco line.

I do model today but my railroad is totally freelanced and I would like some BQ cabs in both HO and N scale.
