Sweet news for SPF’s

Thanks John! Also of potential interest to modelers of Amtrak (NorthEast Corridor) and N&W (CPL).

Never argue with idiots; they'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Looks good, but I will tell everybody from hard experience that modeling a signal close to scale is one thing, fully illuminating the SOB is another thing entirely.

Yes, we went through this entire exercise in https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=28968.0 .  I can't get over that it was 13 10 years ago!

Man, I find it hard to think about the junk we thought was "okay" that was 3D printed 13 years ago!

Part of that might have been Shapeways fault, but, I'm convinced that my new 8k printer will beat them at printing just about anything what with the state of the art with consumer grade MSLA or DLP printers, effective anti-aliasing and resins that will hold the details and are durable at the same time...

Cheerio!

Frank Dignan? Unusual to see his name here.  He is one of my friends from the Northeast NTRAK club.  He is a Pennsy fan.

Francis is a member of our PRR N Scale Modeling FB group he added the pics @John shared there (and likely other groups).
