I think as with all new processes there are the good, the very good and the appalling unfortunately some peoples views have been swayed some of the really low resolution and inaccurate prints out there but some brass kits that are still produced are dreadful. There have been good 3D prints about for ages some of the best I've seen were the late Dave Finney's, Fordson tractor and motorcycle they were amazing and that was a good while ago. I think the drive to print a complete loco or wagon is may be too far I think the way you have done it using brass for footplate and cab and printing for boiler and fittings is using the best of both technologies.
