Havent had any luck searching and wondered if anyone had a source for some grooved wood sheet for g scale decking like this..Im not sure i have to patience for scribing hundreds of lines in flat sheet.

Thats some amazing skill. Great work.

Heres a better shot of the 1/14 w900. It was actually supposed to be a 900B.

Jerry, Ive seen your videos too especially when i was researching the build on mine. Great detail and a unique model you built. There is a vid showing some build pictures of my blower here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCiEIYXOTFs&list=UUCxY14_Hre3_khwTFWOsF4w The motor i used is a standard RC car 35 turn 540 sized dc motor. I then purchased a 2:1 gear reduction unit to help with torque. I got that from RC4WD.com. Not sure if they still sell them, but you can search ebay of course. I remember seeing the vacuum cleaner blade you used which was a great idea. I sure could print a blade. It would fine i think as long as you dont chew up any rocks with it, but if it broke another one could be made easily and the design could be altered to strengthen weak spots of course. I wanted to do a metal blade for the cool factor. It was a bit tricky to balance at first but turned out nice in the end. Thanks for the comment. Oh, when i mentioned the HO scale i was referring to the fact that i can get some ideas for G scale builds from HO scale stuff. Yes id definitely have to do it in G scale. HO scale lends some good ideas for G scale projects because there is such a variety of different models in that scale. Yes finding sd45s to cut up would be tough unless you had money to burn Thats super neat. I love the unique, one of a kind stuff like that. Thank you Thank you. I use Afinia printers, and love them. I have spent more time printing parts for my 1/14 scale stuff, Which is what the W900 cab is for. Thats on a Tamiya King Hauler frame. That pic was a shot of a test Sleeper i made.

Thank you

Haha, Ya, its doable. I was actually looking on ebay as i often do for some ideas on a future project and saw an HO scale DD40 and gave it a thought. That would be a bigger project for sure, but mainly figuring out how to put the power to the rails..4 axle trucks...;)hmmm... maybe using 4 trucks from a 2 axle loco and combining them into a single truck? that would be the best bet probably. I have so many projects on the brain and not enough time. You know how it is.. Glad to chat with you again Ray. p.s. The size is not an issue, I just recently got my 77 Ford put together ( the red drawing above). Over 170 separately printed pcs. 42" long...Actually I stopped counting around 175..

Recently joined the board and wanted to say hello. Im from the Cleveland area and have been playing around with G Scale Trains for about ten years now with a strong interest in kit bashing and unique modifications. I am fluent in 3d printing. Here are a few examples of some things train related and not, I have designed in the past 3 years since becoming interested in 3D Printing. I look forward to joining some discussion and sharing more projects in the future. And a video of my Rotary Snow Blower https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NT6gEiqpWA&list=UUCxY14_Hre3_khwTFWOsF4w
