Freight Cars by Builder
The following links take you to Shapeways where you can purchase my designs of Carter Brothers South Pacific Coast Railroad equipment. I sell my products at Shapeways cost with no markup. I do not take custom orders. What you see is what I offer.
All cars come to you direct from Shapeways, printed in the selected plastic. The parts require cleaning before any work is done on the assembly. My favorite cleaning method is a heated ultrasonic cleaner large enough to hold a car body. Parts are cleaned in a solution of hot water and Dawn detergent. XX drops in XX water. Then 15 minutes of ultrasonic agitation at 75 degrees centigrade (165F). Repeat if necessary. Rinse in plain water and throughly dry.

The kit includes the truck frames and brake beams to assemble one pair of trucks. The trucks are designed for Precision Scale 26 inch wheelsets HO-3240. The buyer must supply the wheelsets. To assemble the trucks: clean parts; cut parts from spures; paint parts; insert user supplied wheelsets; glue brake beams in place.
