SW1200 Fuel Tank Conversions

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Is anyone aware of kits/parts/details out there to change the style of a LL/Walthers SW1200 fuel tank to be closer to one of these?

I feel like it's close to some of the SW1200RS ones, but I don't know much about those.

Anybody have any suggestions?

I made a large fuel tank for the LL SW1200 that's a close match to that one.





The air tanks are the original one's from the model.

I have a couple extra tanks somewhere but it's all packed away.  If you're interested, I can send you one when I find them.

I sure won't complain, but I don't want to get in the way of another beautiful build like that.

Probably a long shot if my memory circuits are correct, but I think N Scale of Nevada or someone like that made a replacement tank for the Life Like mechanism.

I think I have 3-4 extras. Besides, that build ended with trying to bend the piping. 

PM me a mailing address and when I find them, I'll send a couple.  Worst case, I can download the Shapeways file and there are several here that could print it.

Wait, you did it in 3D? Just send me the file. It'll be a good excuse to FINALLY setup my Photon.

I went the custom modification route on my two SP units....

Still a couple of the nicest N Scale Switcher builds I’ve ever seen.

Thanks, Bryan!

 Those switchers look great! In fact at first glance of SP 2282 I thought I was looking at the Rapido HO model.
