Fairbanks Morse OP-800
A customer requested both an HO model of this unique Southern Railway prototype for his own layout and a static O scale model for display in a museum. The relatively complex underbody detail required multiple printed parts to replicate. I’m no Rapido, but I think it came out all right! The HO model has a shell from Shapeways while the O scale model was printed entirely on my FDM printer. Interestingly enough, the O scale shell was far cheaper to print than the HO shell (thanks Shapeways).

Evans Auto-Railer
The Washington and Old Dominion Railroad was a Northern Virginia shortline with some interesting and unique equipment. A precursor to modern hi-rail equipment, This bus had retractable flanged wheels which allowed it to ride on both road and rail. While originally purchased to carry passengers into downtown DC, they soon became relegated to maintenance duties. The HO model uses a Bachmann hi-railer chassis and a shell printed in Shapeways’ ultra fine detail plastic.
