Generic intermodal well car span bolster

So, I finally printed something 10 months after acquiring an Elegoo Mars 3 resin printer. The first thing I printed was a generic span bolster for a 100-ton Micro Trains roller bearing truck to be used on Deluxe Innovations Maxi-III and Twin-Stack well cars. They were painted and installed by Henry Baez. Here are some pics to enjoy!

Well, I just printed them yesterday. He came and picked them up from me last night, painted and installed them this morning. He sent me several videos of them in operation, so far, so good. They do do look really nice painted and installed.

Good job! The 3D printers are the best thing to come along since a pocket on a shirt. I think it's great that we can finally make the obsolete and no longer available parts to get our trains back on track. Speaking of which, you know those Kato GP50 battery boxes that are nonexistent? No more. I've got all that I need now. Keep up the good work.

Those look great.   This is a prime example of what 3D printing is really, really good for.   Also the stuff Gary, et al have done.    Very cool.
