3D printed Coffin feedwater heater for N Bachmann Berkshire T-1 (B&M, ATSF, SP)

Dirk-
While really interesting the mongrel 1-B = B / 1-B = B-1 turret versions are a challenge.
I would only be interested in the original EMC boxcab and given the possibility of making variations in 3D CAD I would buy two 1C (1A and 1B) aka EMC Diesel Locomotive  511 and 512.   I haven’t deeply researched or documented what the differences were between the ATSF, B&O and GM&O, and Demos bodies but I need the 511 which served as protection power for the TCZ and DZ shovelnoses and the pair barnstormed on the Q with their Dynamometer car #30.   Of course, I’d also like the full power and train sets to go with it but I just got my CorelCAD software yesterday....and have some studying to do!
The Amos n’ Andy have four or more configurations and one at least ended up back in B-B boxcab form as a freight unit.  There is a book just on the ATSF units (and 1C /512).  I have been collecting a small file of photos and diagrams if you are interested.   I think the B-B “mech” is common with these and the CRI&P and CB&Q TA and EA shovelnoses.

Hi Dirk,
Is it just the trucks you are designing or are you designing the shell as well?
I'd be in for the trucks.

So this thread is no longer about the coffin feedwater heater?  I was trying to make some sense of the last several posts, but they made no sense at all. Maybe a separate thread (on the Diesel?) would make things clearer?

Hi Charlie, Alister and Peteski,

My intentions are to produce the ATSF bulldog (rebuilt) A and B versions and the roadswitcher 2611 version first..... maybe later Amos & Andy (and the 511/512 cabs), both cabs and trucks.
But will take some time......
 
The thread just developed into another train  of thought...... not intentional.......
