3D printing is a good alternative to help fill those autoracks ,, but you would have to paint them (modeling )

Ah. But technology fixed that for us yet again. A couple outfits have started to get full color resin printers. I doubt the color detail will be up to snuff but I forsee a couple guys out there offering Autorack filler packs of year accurate vehicles sometime soon.

I bet a color 3D printed 'autorack filler pack' would cost upwards of $200, for a bilevel.

3d printing is a good alternative with respect to getting the exact vehicle prototypes you want, not really by any other criteria.
