Saw these mentioned on Facebook today and figured I'd spread the word.

To update and then immediately thread drift:
     Current plans are to run these cars for PC by the end of the year.  (picture scrounged from someone's blog post on the 2022 Valley Forge RPM)

My mother says these cars are cute, so there's that.

Are these the first 3D printed fully assembled models?

Huh, I don't know.  But whatever the specifics are of the business model that TJ has come up with, I hope they're sustainable (he actually makes some money and doesn't burn out) - because good golly is it great to see someone making models in a niche that no one has attempted before (the Railworks F41a's don't count).
