1890s 40' Combine Coach -- N Scale

A small combine I made for my Dragonwood & Pacific railroad, loosely based on the (albeit narrow gauge) combines used by the United Verde. While it's freelanced, it's probably as realistic as it gets. I read way too many primary documents for one single railcar. (Shoutout to Archive.org. Great place for earlyrail folks!)

Comes with swing motion trucks typical of the era. It, like the combine, is interpolated between several prototypes as I wanted my own distinct railcar. There was no standardization back in the day, but this and the combine are scaled and detailed exactly like if someone from the era built it. In other words, this model is not "prototypical", but it's accurate. I hope that distinction makes sense. 

Work in progress, but all pieces are printable. I'm not yet happy with the tolerancing, but it should print. I've figured I'll release now since I've been sitting on this for way too long, since it's becoming one of those “a railroad is never finished” projects and I might never be fully happy with it (see rev number. – yes, there's been at least 20 iterations, I might have skipped a number here or there, but it's mostly been by 0.1s). Assembly is a bit annoying due to said tolerancing. Will update with photos once I assemble and paint mine. 

Print everything except FDM chassis (green) in SLA. The trucks take 2-56x3/16 flathead socket screws. I got mine from Grainger. You'll have to resize or otherwise modify the FDM chassis for other trucks, but it's designed to ride at MTL passenger trucks' bolster height. I forget the dimension off the top of my head, sorry.
