That's an idea worth pursuing, Todd. I've got a number of .stl files I'd be willing to contribute to this project, if we can get some agreement on fair versus commercial use, similar to what exists with regard to current practice in copyright law.
I'd have no issue with others using the files for personal use; I have no desire to make piles of money from any of my 3D work, but I would want some say if others chose to use it commercially.
One complicating issue is that .stl files have no metadata or ability to embed a copyright notice, as far as I can determine. So it'd probably make sense to distribute as zips with an embedded copyright notice and a 'by opening this zip, you are agreeing to an acknowledgment of copyright' notice (like the old 'break the seal' EULAs for retail software). Might require a zip-within-a-zip approach to make sure the notice is visible before the content is revealed,
Just to kickstart the process further, here are some 3D prints I'd be willing to contribute if an accord can be reached:
Those are early-version tender shells, a 1902 coal/flat underframe, some NY brake gear systems on the print supports, some striker plates I did at Jim Courtney's suggestion in both HO (for me) and S (for him), and some oil headlights for the pre-electric era.
Also have some files for ASF bolsters, which Jim Courtney made use of recently.
To simplify scaling, I work in prototype inches in my CAD program, and then adjust in the slicing software (which defaults to millimeters) to the desired scale.
