Looking for the guy who was selling the Baldwin babyface units on shape ways

[cgw]

With the shutdown of shape ways  market place one can no longer purchase the  Baldwin baby face a/b units. The shell fit the ER shark mechanism with a little filing and fudging.   Does anyone have a contact for the creator of the shells?  By any chance is he a rail wire member?

Thanks in Advance

That would be PiperguyUMD and yes he's here

Thank you for the contact.   I managed to lose my contacts for the shape ways stuff I purchased.     I had a neat consist of several a/b sets for the CNJ.   However they got a little abused and the shells did not survive. Hopefully he will respond to my PM request.  Thanks again

I sent him a PM the other day regarding some of his prints, no response so far.

I’d be in for a set too!


For some thread drift - who was the guy that made the various critters (ge 25 ton, etc), is he a member?

I don't know why companies don't seem to want to sell Baldwin locomotives. Been looking for a Center cab shell myself...

James Norris has one. But he was exclusively on shapeways. I just checked his website and it looks like he’s done a complete reformat and isn’t mentioning his 3d prints anymore

FWIW - I have all the drawings still. I worked with Randy and James to get one made. Im slowly learning how to 3D model myself, so in time I might be able to make them available again.

If you ever do I'm on board for at least a couple DSS&A and MN&S.. Have one now from James just before the shutdown.
