Model Railroading > HO TEBU by Cutting Edge Scale ModelsDate: 08/20/16 11:56 HO TEBU by Cutting Edge Scale Models Author: RyanWilkerson A follow up from CESM about their new TEBU. For some history about Southern Pacific's TEBUs, here's a link: http://espee.railfan.net/sptebu.html
"The TEBU kit is now available from our site. It isn't a pre-order, but we will be shipping the kits in October or November. I originally forecasted $125 a kit, but we are selling them for $94.99 a kit. Please make your order this weekend to make sure you get your kit, as this production is limited to only 25 units. They will sell out fast." http://www.cescalemodels.com/ho-scale-products/ho-m-k-tebu-kit Ryan Wilkerson Fair Oaks, CA Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/20/16 11:57 by RyanWilkerson.

I will buy and I think more would too if you would give I little more details of the quality about your product.
Date: 08/22/16 10:22 Re: HO TEBU by Cutting Edge Scale Models Author: RyanWilkerson I'll send your comments to CESM and post the response.
I have the N scale version and it looks good. That was 18 months ago and 3D printing quality has improved since then. I don't want to guess at the manufacturing method, I'll get it from CESM. -Ryan bnsfmodeler Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > This looks clear and crisp in the cad drawings, if > the item is not as described can we return it also > is it is done with a cheap 3D printer it will not > be smooth, also cheap 3D printer plastic makes it > hard for paint to stick.

No frame, trucks, or handrails? Date: 09/01/16 23:41 Re: HO TEBU by Cutting Edge Scale Models Author: RyanWilkerson Lurch Wrote:

It's a niche locomotive and considering the many hours of 3D design and printing, seems reasonable to me. I'm an N scaler so getting this locomotive in plastic or brass wasn't even a possibility so I'm grateful to have a custom 3D printed version. The donor locomotive (Atlas U23B I believe) would provide the frame and trucks. Aren't metal handrails in HO readily available? Ryan Wilkerson Fair Oaks, CA |
