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 version of the hood with dynamic brakes. The radiator grills and the dynamic brake grills are not included, but the company does have those available as separately-produced items.

The version of the hood without dynamic brakes. The radiator grills and screen are not included, but the company does have those available as separately-produced items.

The EMD dash-2 series pilot, draft gear, and step well combination. You'll need two of these per engine.

The intake grill screens. This one two-piece kit is all that is needed for one engine.
