Thanks John for helping,

Thanks George for confirming and for the info about the two trucks.  I will add that to the instructions.  1015 short is what is in my image.

Here's a comparison of Rivarossi pullmans with MT trucks, in case anyone wants to see the difference.


White Mountains has MT 1187 trucks mounted in as close to the correct position as I could manage.


Debby has MT 1186 trucks mounted to the stock body bolsters.


and no, I don't think Pullman ever named a car "Debby".

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

May I ask your opinion of the running performance of these integrated step/coupler body mounts, min curve radius, etc?

They're just fine on 16" radius, coupled to Micro -Trains cars or each other.  Haven't tried sharper curves.

Thank you Rodney. They also render soooo much better than Shapeways! Same original designs though.

Cheerio!

Well, Dang. I wanted to order one of your Minitrix I1SA kits, but I don't see it on the list.

Is there any plans to release those kits, or are these too niche to be worth while?
 
is there any chance of you doing a special print of one of your I1SA kits?

I don't see it either.  Might be a cache issue?  I know it took a few days before KD-0026 and 27 to show up after John added them.

Been kinda busy at home lately.  The prints are shown on the 3D printing topics.

I will try to announce them this weekend.

Keystone Details new product alert #10: The Keystone Details PRR I1 Pilot Kit, KD-0028 is now available for purchase.  This, along with KD-0023 PRR Steam Boiler Detailing kit can complete your basic I1.

You may want to hold off as another new kit will be coming soon for super detailing PRR freight engine tenders that will be a Keystone Details kit including various cistern covers, marker lights, backup lights, and large (3 man) and small (1 man) PRR doghouses, and if I can get them to print, cistern vent grilles.

John,

Two questions. 1) With the H3 kit, is there room anywhere for a decoder? Guessing no room for a speaker, but maybe a LokPilot 5 Micro? And 2) the I1sa kit just gets added to a standard Minitrix 2-10-0?

I need to go find some threads on re-motoring a Minitrix I1sa.
