Uintah caboose - nachoman - 02-11-2021
Here is a Uintah caboose I designed and 3d printed through shapeways in HOn3.

Some more 3d printed cars. A Uintah Flat car and Gilsonite load. Also a freelanced gondola with coal load, lettered for United, Verde and Pacific. I think the coal is black decorative sand from Dollar Tree.

That coal actually looks pretty good to me. Did you make those sacks, Kevin, or are they the ones from Tichy?

Wayne, drawn in TinkerCAD and 3d printed as one load. Fun project.

Wow! There's some nicely-done definition between the individual sacks...good enough that it looks like a couple of LPBs could transfer that load, one sack at a time, onto a waiting truck.

I'm impressed too. I tired to make some sack loads for an N scale truck and it really looked so bad that I tried covering it with a tarp, which only made it look worse. Abort was my only option. Really nice job Kevin, really nice details.
