I am not ever getting a Shapeways model again - I do not like their print quality or the effort it takes to fix them.

I really would like a U18B, U33/36B, U23C and the 6 axle -7 series: C30-7, C30-7A, C36-7. The Kato C30-7 exists, but only features 5 steps rather than 4 as on many prototypes.

Hi!
  Yes, I went to the Atlas Main page and when I looked at the catalog I saw $134.00 RS-11s. Thank goodness I have a bunch of used locos I bought cheap ( I found the chassis of the Trix U28Cs will fit Bachmann 8-40C and CWs, fixed the poor body on the fine running Trix, and the decent body on the poor running Bachmann). But that is not the only madness I found. While looking on the Bachmann site for a suitable "B" trucked GE body, the B23-7/B30-7 body was only $14.71, but shipping was $60(!!!!!!).
   Due to my current financial status, I am on a limited budget and must carefully consider any purchase. So I will use the Atlas U23B body and see if I can add the two doors for the U##B conversion. I am sure I can do something. If I can find an Atlas B30/36-7 body cheap, I can add the U23B intakes to the V-16 models.
   But as I said it needs to wait for the move we are packing for.

And I just ran across my images of the "Shore Fast Line" located in Southern NJ (Southern RR of NJ now is down there). I guess I will need to at least one....
