This kit is a Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes caboose! The SR&RL had many types of cabooses; and many examples of them are preserved. This particular kit is based on 554, which is owned by Maine Locomotive & Machine and can be seen at the WW&F. I might make other Sandy River caboose kits too!

Sorry it's been a while, work's been crazy!
Here's my next showcase, another boxcar; but this is another Bridgton special! Some of their boxcars had windows as they were known to carry cows.
One windowed example is in service and can be seen today at the WW&F Railway.
Battles for the rich, battles for the poor; the park at the corner and the rival next door
She ALWAYS eats her burgers like that ๐
I'm still VERY glad you like it bud! I'm still so thrilled to have an affordable alternative for DLMX 4219; more auxiliary tenders will definitely be in the cards for the future! ๐
THERE IS NO LIE
Next up to showcase is a special piece that was unique to only one railway, the Bridgton & Saco River Tanker. The railway had two to serve the oil refinery; one had a slightly bigger tank than the other, I may have to make the bigger tank as an optional add-on!
Next up, is a 009 boxcar; the second print I ever designed myself after the flatbed. Just like the flatbed, the bogies and mountings have been updated. This one is a very standard design found on the Maine narrow gauge, but a couple upcoming ones will be railway-specific.
First up in my 3D printed catalogue is also the first one I made, a 009 flatbed! The bogies and mountings for them has since been updated, but the main body has stayed the same. The holes in the body are to attach boards or large poles for large loads, as many railways did.
Welcome to Penguin Prints! I make 3D prints of model railway variety! 009, HO/OO, and even working scaled-down whistles!
I'll be going into detail of my various kits soon, so stay tuned!
