Thanks Ed, I've been try to find a STL file for one of them for a few years.

Thanks Ed, with a little bit of extras and some weathering, it will look good as a small lumber tractor.

My pleasure!

I was busy trying to find funny inappropriate things to print in low-res and these got in my way. Figured someone should get some use out of the thing preventing me from finding the triceracocks.

Got my own.

I could see a flatcar load of them on the WP&Y...

What did you scale them too? The originals from the description are 1/100, but when I scaled them 62% they still look wrong.

I haven't measured any of them yet, so I don't know how close they are. These are scaled to 55% and they look very close.

these would fill in rather well for my old D73T, closest would be the ones in the older photo, but only a nit picker could tell the differences, lol

I was playing with this dozer and I made a small scaling error. Ended up printing at 1/320 scale.

The little hook on the bottom printed just fine at that scale. I broke the one track and the one platform corner when taking the supports off. I need to be more careful with the next one.

And the holes in the draw bar printed as through holes too.

N scale D7 with "mini D"!

Every detail in the bigger one is right there on the smaller one. This mini 8k is impressive.

Use the mini as a yard sign for a construction company or heavy equipment sales company

Or a roof sign...
