Well I went ahead and printed out a couple. These are no where near finished. Just primered

That HEMTT is from the same designer that did the M88?

Fueler is from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3069375

Not the highest in details but it works until a better one comes along

Forget the 3D prints.  The weathering on the flat cars.  Wow!   :o

If I could only take credit (or weather like it)...... these are the weathered ones from MT.

Not trying to disparage the designer at all, but it looks better than I thought it would. Finding a good HEMTT at a price point somewhat better than Shapeways ($10-20 each) is difficult.

Was not trying to disparage the designer, the design is pretty good, just wish he/she would have used more segments to make the curves. But a little sanding helps.

samusi01, very nice HEMTT, way over the top for cost. It looks like the one from GrabCAD (IIRMC)
gi-depp, I have seen that site before, most of those models you can print yourself as most are freely given for personal printing. Thanks for sharing though, I am sure some will get some from them.
I know I whish I was better at 3D design and was able to draw these and others up.

I have no idea what in the heck that thing does, but it looks like you did a terrific job.

They deploy transportable bridges, this one doesn't have the bridge deck on it.  I wasn't sure either, but wiki is a good thing in this case :D
