Sn3 Flanger Kits by Leadville Designs
Leadville Designs announces plans to release a kit for the DSP&P/DL&G/C&S Drag Flanger, and a separate kit for the Sn3 RGS Plow Flanger #03, both scheduled for release this summer. The kits will be made out of laser-cut wood, and metal and plastic detailing parts. The drag flanger will include the UP Swing Beams trucks, but other trucks can be used based on which variation is to be modeled. The plow flanger will come with the correct leaf spring trucks. See the web site for details, and to pre-order the kit.
Handcars by Fourth Dimension
Fourth Dimension used to sell their S and Sn3 maintenance-of-way handcars via the former Shapeways, but they have now moved their products to 3DP Train, which includes a couple of new entries they didn't have before. These are unpainted, 3D-printed models. The images show external sprues to protect the model during printing and shipping. The modeler will need to remove those. These are static display-only models.
