Modeling the Indiana Railroad

Lightweight 323 in its shiny "Traction Orange" coat is waiting for the first run.

When 323 comes back, it shows its rear face. On the left, an IRR  "High speed" stands ready to exchange passengers.

The printed body snaps over a Bachmann Peter Witt drive.

Winona Windsplitter

Photos of Winona Windsplitters are rare. Photos of two of them are even further rare. Here are two of them in the Indianapolis Traction Terminal , on track 5 and 6.

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:
