- Structure: The mainframe serves as the core support structure of the locomotive, comprising two longitudinal beams running the entire length from front to back, with cross members forming a robust framework. This design supports the weight of the locomotive and manages operational stresses.
- Design: It's engineered to provide a stable foundation for the cylinders, suspension, and other mechanical components. The mainframe includes strategic points where various parts of the locomotive connect, ensuring efficient operation and movement.
- Aesthetic: The aesthetic of the mainframe emphasizes functionality over ornamentation, reflecting the industrial and practical nature of early 20th-century locomotive design.
- Detail: The mainframe shows where components like the cylinders, suspension, and valve gear would attach, providing a clear understanding of the locomotive's assembly and mechanics. Additionally, it includes three lower frame keepers specifically designed to hold the Journal Boxes in place, enhancing the model's realism and functionality.
- Modularity for Printing: For ease of 3D printing, the mainframe model is thoughtfully divided into five sections. This segmentation allows for more manageable printing processes, ensuring high detail and accuracy while simplifying assembly post-print.

Made-to-Order Manufacturing
At 3DPT, every model is manufactured to order rather than pulled from warehouse inventory. This approach allows us to offer an extensive catalog while ensuring each piece is produced with the care and attention it deserves.
Most orders ship within 7-14 business days. However, larger models, complex projects, and high-volume orders may require 4-6 weeks or longer due to extended print times and production requirements.
While extended lead times are uncommon, they may occasionally occur during periods of high demand or due to circumstances outside our control. We appreciate your understanding as we continue our mission of preserving transportation history in miniature through high-quality, made-to-order models.
