Originally built by Baldwin in 1907-1911 for the N-C-O and acquired by the Southern Pacific in 1928 for use on the ex-Carson & Colorado right-of-way through the Nevada and California desert from Mound House near Carson City, Nevada, to Keeler, California, in the Mojave Desert (the famous “Slim Princess” railroad). Locomotives No. 8 & 9 had Stephenson valve gear while locomotive No. 18 has Walschaerts valve gear and large air tanks under the cab. It has been restored by the Carson & Colorado Railway volunteer group. ( https://carsoncolorado.com/ )
This kit consists of 3D-printed resin parts to convert one Bachmann N-scale 4-6-0 model to either 8, 9 or 18 in TTn3. The builder will need to provide the Bachmann loco, screws for attaching the tender shell to the tender frame, a Micro Trains Line N-scale coupler, Gold Medal Models etched handrail stanchions, brass wire for railings, LED lamps, resistor, paint and decals. (See Instructions.) See the books “Southern Pacific Narrow Gauge” by Mallory Hope Ferrell for photos of the SP locos and “The Pacific Coast Railway- California’s Premiere Narrow Gauge” by Curtis Johnson for prototype drawings and photos of sister locomotives 10 & 11.

Perfect for a NCO locomotive that was then sold to the SP. I am modeling Reno area railroads so this offering filled a niche that would have required scratch building.
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.
