8-18C Baldwin Wooden Cab

8-18C Baldwin Cab Replica

This 3D printed model meticulously replicates the 1876 wooden cab of the Baldwin 8-18C locomotive, specifically inspired by the "Sonoma" housed at the California State Railroad Museum. The "Sonoma" is part of the same series as the "John Harford," another iconic Baldwin locomotive which I have modeled.

The creation of this replica was made possible through a unique opportunity to access the full set of restoration plans originally used for the "Sonoma." This model captures the intricate details of the original wooden cab in a one-piece print, preserving the historical authenticity and craftsmanship of the era.

• Material: Printed with the highest quality resins for max detail.
• Scale: Available in O Scale, S Scale, and HO Scale
• Print Details: This is a single-piece print, ensuring the integrity and fine details of the cab's structure are maintained.

This project not only showcases a piece of railroad history but also demonstrates the precision possible with modern 3D printing technology. Each aspect from the window frames to the door handles reflects the meticulous restoration work done on the "Sonoma."
