I can definitely use a few of these.  Thanks!

These are spiffy!   Please consider making a similar part for Rivarossi (ConCor, Atlas)  heavyweights!

It looks like 16mm.  Measured with a steel ruler, as my calipers are packed away right now.

If you seriously are willing to pursue this, I can provide a sample car for you to examine - send me a PM.

Going to need to get a set, got an Atlas/Rivarossi car I can test fit these to once I get them.

An accurate measurement and a picture of the underside on the end would be all I need from @nickelplate759 or @Ike the BN Freak .

Remember it is likely that these will not work with a three axle truck.  The swing clearance just isn't there as mentioned in the original post.

Wow, at last! My Rivarrossi six wheel cars need steps too.

@gelboy45 you saw this right?

Sorry John, I meant to imply that sets of steps for these six wheel cars are needed too. My passengers are stranded...

I think that getting the actual Rivarossi car to John would guarantee the best fit and appearance.  I also have one of those cars I could send to John.

Not if you can't get them to print right.  There is some discussion already pointing this out in the New Shapeways Material thread.

This.  I am not moving to that material till I get my sample back. This part will not look good in the thicknesses that are required for that material.
