EBT Caboose in Mn3

This is my 1:300/Mn3 scale East Broad Top caboose #27 (I used 24 because I had only had that number cut from a hopper car set I made... I got impatient).  It's on T-gauge "wider sleeper flexitrack".  I designed the car from scratch and 3D printed it in resin using an 80/20 mixture of Phrozen Aqua 8K and Onyx Impact Plus.  It comes in 2 parts, shell and frame plus a rudimentary interior including a stove.  The trucks/couplers I also designed and printed as well, they have TGauge pin-point wheelsets.  The windows are decal film applied on the inside, but I want to do the cupola windows in clear resin as the decals don't sit flush with the frame.  The red is just good ole' Tamiya Oxide Red primer.

1:300? How do you breathe near it without knocking it over?  :scared:

It has 2 1/16" diameter neodymium magnets in it's center sill, and could also get some tungsten putty between the lockers if needed.  Without either you are quite correct, it doesn't take much to knock one over!

When I designed it, I thought that could be feasible--roughly 2x bigger.  Might have to do a test print just for grins, it should fit on the build plate.
