I've completed the test N scale C636 build, painted it, and I'm really happy. I finally got the print settings dialed in with a service that I was using to test out the printer that will produce these. All of the etched details work well. The laser cut windows fit and the trucks clip on perfectly.
I need 60 pre-orders to begin production. If I don't meet that quota, the project will be cancelled and everyone's money will be refunded. Simple as that. The cutoff date for new pre-orders counting toward that count will be December 1st, but as soon as 60 pre-orders are hit production will begin. I'll keep updates in this thread on the progress.
Mechanism wise, this thing rides on an atlas C628/630 chassis with trucks from either an SD7/9/24/26/35 or Dash 8 trucks. The former option includes a 3D printed gearbox to adapt the truck. I am also aware that the cab windows on the sides of the unit are incorrectly placed, I am fixing this design flaw before anything gets shipped.
