PACIFIC COAST RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVE 110 or 111 – Nn3 – Digital File

Originally built by Baldwin in 1909/1911 for the N-C-O and acquired by the Pacific Coast in 1928 for use on Pacific Coast Railway on California’s central coast. Locomotive No. 110 had Stephenson valve gear while locomotive No. 111 had Walschaerts valve gear. Model was developed using drawings in the book The Pacific Coast Railway: Central California’s Premiere Narrow Gauge – Johnson & Westcott. Sister locomotive SP#18 has been restored by the Carson & Colorado Railway volunteer group. (See reference photos at https://carsoncolorado.com/ )

This STL file is for the superstructure only (boiler and cab) to be downloaded by the modeler and then sent to a vendor who provides lost-wax casting services using the customers digital files (such as Shapeways and Sculpteo.) The resulting casting is to be used with the resin parts available separately on this site to convert one Rokuhan Z-scale 4-6-2 (C-57) model to Nn3. (See instructions posted with the resin parts.) The builder will need to provide the C-57, a longer screw for the tender frame extension and screws for attaching the tender shell to the tender frame, a Micro Trains Line 905 Nn3 coupler, Gold Medal Models etched handrail stanchions, brass wire for railings, paint and decals and optional LED lamps, resistors, and 36AWG wire for electrically connecting locomotive frame to tender-mounted motor. The brass casting will need to be insulated from the Rokuhan die-cast chassis (suggest using cigarette paper.) See a review of Rokuhan C57 at: https://youtu.be/YbM3_MjRDzo?feature=shared

READ BEFORE DOWNLOADING:

I do not guarantee you will be able to get castings from either service, but the files I provide for download will be ones I have previously had successfully cast by Sculpteo. Since these files are “pushing the limits” on details such as free-standing piping and rivets, you will probably need to use a “print it anyway” option. I also do not guarantee all details will successfully reproduce every time the part is cast, but they have on castings I have previously ordered from Sculpteo.
