Funnily enough, all the small details are there, it's just that whenever the frames print correctly, the little strips that hold the body in place misprint. When the little strips print correctly, the frame doesn't. Do you have any advice, or am I just out of luck? I'm thinking of just cutting the little strips down with either a pair of pliers or a file.

No, Beezow Doo-Doo is a shortened version of Beezow Doo-Doo Zopitty-Bop-Bop, which is what I usually go as. However, I probably should've just shortened it to Beezow. Is there any way to change your name here?

Let's bring this back, shall we? I've bought a resin printer, specifically a Sonic Mini 8K, so if all goes well I should be able to finally print Chris's Davenport properly.

I will, eventually. Right now, I'm just waiting for the printer to arrive.

Kinda close:




All 3D printed on a MDC/Athearn chassis

Hey Chris, I have a question regarding that mogul. I've found the 3D model on printables, but would it be possible for me to swap out the MP mogul chassis and shoehorn in the MP/MDC american chassis? I've been seriously considering using that, as it's the closest i can get right now to one of the J&LWRR 4-4-0s.
