Notes:

The company produces the 3D-printed parts, available via Shapeways, to allow you to build a full model of this engine. The modeler needs to supply the frame and drive mechanism, and any additional detailing parts. The web site link is to their main page, so you will have to look through the labeled items to find the parts specific to this model (please note that not all items are S-scale).

The cab and short hood.

The dynamic-brake-equipped long hood with two-piece radiator grill. Note that the radiator grills, dynamic brake grills, and turbo stack are not included, but are available separately by the company.

The radiator grill front bar screens. The kit is for two screens, but you will need four individual screens (i.e. two of these sets) for a single engine.
