A number of decades ago I began a small HON3 layout, being somewhat of a condensed "cartoon" of the Skagway terminus of the White Pass and Yukon. Currently I am designing and printing various rolling stock items. WP&Y at various points acquired rolling stock and engines from some of the more famous Colorado and other railroads. This probably reached it's peak during WWII. So some plans are available for boxcars, gondolas, flatcars and whatnot. The current item i am working on is some of the EBT hopper cars. I found a scale drawing of one of the two bay units and created such, only to find out that WP&Y probably only had the three bay, later units. So currently printing experimental 3 bay units, for which I only had photos. Like the originals, I modified the two bay units.
As time goes on I have found better references and photos. Some truly unique items could be built! From a mode ship project (LSM) I have a lot of designed Military vehicles which can make good wartime loads for flatcars etc. One is a M36 Tank Destroyer which fits on the depressed center flatcar, barely... Jeeps, trailers, oil drums, DUKW's etc. Sadly no "Duce n Half" yet. Some different challenges in printing as separate from ship modeling!
