Wild Boar Fell Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Hello, Stunning as all ways, I'm not a great fan off American/ Canadian loco's however those certainly do look impressive! Regards Wild Boar Fell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-59 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Oo the LRC were always a favorite oddball of mine. Anyword on prints of the EP-5's? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkitt Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 Thanks Wild Boar Fell and k-59. I've been sent some photos of the models that have been printed so far by the person who commissioned them - a few are a bit blurry I'm afraid. EP-5 / E40 GF6C EF-3 Osgood Bradley passenger car Supaned, I'm happy to do requests - all the models in this thread have been commissions. If let me know what you're interested in by PM or email I can give you a quote. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burkitt Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Thanks Aaron and Rob. Aaron, I've just put the GF6C up on Shapeways, the E40 / EP-5 should follow later this week then the rest of the New Haven models after that. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-59 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 What chassis is that under the EP5? It looks a bit like the old Minitrix U30CG. The EF-3 looks great, as dose the coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkitt Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Thanks K-59. You're quite right, it's a Minitrix U28C chassis, which I understand is the same as the U30CG. It seemed to be the only one to have the same length as the EP-5, so no stretching or shrinking of the model was needed. It was also apparently comparatively easy to modify to fit within the low-roofed EP-5 body. As they aren't widely available any more I'm not sure what chassis to recommend when I release this model on Shapeways - any suggestions welcome.

Burkitt Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 The EP-5 / E40 is now available from my Shapeways shop http://www.shapeways.com/shops/amr . There are both as-built and modified versions, and it is also available with fine engraved guide lines to help apply the complex New Haven McGinnis livery. I've found that the Dapol class 58 chassis is a very close match to the correct dimensions of the EP-5, and as a UK loading gauge loco it should also fit well within the EP-5's low roof.

Bill Fornshell Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi Paul, Have you given any though to making these models in available HO scale? Starting first with the E44? Thanks. Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
