I built one of the HOn3 3-D printed Porters from Toma Locomotive Works. I installed DCC, but no sound. Those are Miniprints elk antlers on the headlight.








Interesting little engine.  HOWEVER, although the antlers on the headlight may be marketed as "Elk" antlers, their configuration, particularly with the main beams pointing forward look a lot more like deer antlers...and Elk antlers on a big bull will be nearly 4' long each with the main beams sweeping over his back...these look a lot smaller than that.

I know...so what??  And I agree, but it kinda jumped out and grabbed me since I've hunted quite a few elk and muleys in my younger years.

Cheerio!
