S scale traction models (1:64)

Some blog readers and traction modelers asked me if I could make models in scale S (1:64) . Firts I declined, but after some research and reflection I transformed my Ohio Electric Wooden Combine into a S scale model.

At this scale, it is no longer possible to print in Shapeways "Frosted Detail". The model is re-engineered and have no floor, but a separate pilote and doorsteps.

The model at Shapeways:

Indiana Railroad Lightweight Combines #323-326

After consolidation of all Indiana Interurbans into the Indiana Railroad, the ISC (Indiana Service Corporation) lightweight combines were repainted in IR orange. Otherwise, only small changes were applied: the horn moved to the left side of the cabin, dash lights were added and the standard IRR headlights were mounted. The cars remained on the Northern division until the closing in 1937. 
This version will be soon available in my Shapeways Shop as a 3D printed shell. Underframe and pilot remains the same as for the ISC version.
