This file is for a HO scale basic 50 ton General Electric Steeplecab, there are many slight variations of detail but the basic shape is here. This loco would be fitted with two trolley poles, I may upload the pantograph versions at a later date if they prove to be more popular than they are on Shapeways.
This model was designed for Shapeways FUD material and early plastics as such lacks small details that wouldn't print very well such as rivet heads, however I am reviewing the performance from home 3d printers and will add these if they print well.
The body fits straight onto a later/current Bachmann 44 tonner single motor chassis fitted with 70 tonner 10.5mm diameter wheels, the smaller 9.6mm diameter wheels of the 44 tonner could be used if the body is shimmed by half a mil/ 40 thou to account for the smaller wheels if necessary.
See separate file for individual details that might suit your model. Measured from the preserved Yakima Valley 298, courtesy of and with thanks to Yakima Valley Trolleys.
