I would like to introduce something that I have wanted for a very long time. That is a proper SW1001 in HO that isn't resin. I give you the 3D Printed SW1001:

I'll post updated pics as I detail and paint this model. The first one will be done in Reading Green(of course). Contact me for details.

These look really great. Did you set these up for placement on Athearn or P2K chassis?

Thank you! They are meant to fit on a modified P2K SW chassis. I say modified because some metal from the hood end needs to be removed so that the narrower shell hood end will fit.
