1.6" EMD F7B Unit
***This locomotive is currently being built and tested. If you wish to purchase the design prior to the prototype being completed and available for purchase please contact me via email***
This EMD F7B is the perfect addition to any F7A owners collection. Either build this as powered unit, or build as a dummy unit or engineer car. JT Engineerings EMD F7B offers fantastic detail, while being an absolute breeze to assemble. The frame utilizes all metal construction, while the body is a hybrid constructed of steel and 3D printed parts. The tab and slot construction design makes the frame of this locomotive easy to assemble, while the 3D printed parts take all the guess work out of building such a complex geometry.
This is not a beginner 3D printing project. These prints are hefty. Some take a few hours, while a few of the larger parts in the nose and roof sections can take up to a week to print on your standard printer. (Print times vary based on infill percentage, speed settings etc... The print times listed above are slow, conservitave estimates.... but you get the point). This will be a slow burn project unless you have a 3D printer farm dedicated for your use.
