Whitcomb 35DE switcher H0

Just a cute little industrial critter that will fit fine on a bogie of an old bachmann 44-ton or 70-ton switcher (the old twin motor version). Or build it as a dummy, point bearing axles will fit.

These little diesel-electric engines from the 1940's-1950's will look fine at any industry, mostly in the US but a few made it to Belgium. (I uploaded a belgian version as well: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5988732 )

First: pick and choose the parts you like, there are different frames, hoods, cabs and some add-on stuf like lights, horns, exhaust etc... The old bachmann has two bogies, so you might as well make two whitcombs and why should they be identical? ;-)

assembly:
glue the hood to the frame, test-fit the bachmann-bogie, glue the cab in place, test-fit the hood top (should fit snugly on the hood without glue), bolt some kadee #5 couplers in the frame, maybe a decoder? some lights? stay-alive capacitor? I just stuck a random old decoder to the back of the bachmann-bogie a
