3D Printed Kit

Well, due in part to it being one of our more popular prototype offerings, we went about doing a facelift for our Porter Forney design. A better cab, modified boiler geometry to hopefully open up some mechanism options, and other detail upgrades more in-line with current LLW practice all got rolled into one neat package.
Like it's predecessor, this to take the DCC-equipped On30 Bachmann Porter’s core mechanism and use it for a small Forney. The mechanism needs to be stripped down to its bones for this to all fit together. However thanks to the technology improvements since this kit was originally designed, we've opened the boiler up into a full barrel which I hope will lead to more mechanism options for the builder. Maybe the chassis from a Bachmann Quarry Hunslet can be drafted to create a tiny outside-frame Forney. That's for you to sort out.

This is a much better kit offered over the previous cast resin kit. This 3D printed kit has sharper details, the cab walls are printed thin and close to scale, minimal striation lines and the parts appear to fit together nicely. Only reason I gave it a 4 star review is because the thinly printed cab wall front arrived warped. I don’t know if that is from the printed resin curing process or if it occurred during shipping/transit. I would order another if a need arose as this is a nice 3D printed kit.

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.
