Another great project, Keith!

I'd love a final print of the flanger frame.

Here is a photo of the other side of flanger 015, from the Narrow Gauge Pictorial VIII:

Don't forget that Leadville needs a dual gauge idler car (also from  Pictorial VIII):

Former flanger 013 is coupled to a standard gauge Ft. Worth & Denver boxcar.


Should be a lot easier to build, without all that metal stuff above and inside. The correct UP "type C" trucks are still available from Michael York's Shapeways shop: https://www.shapeways.com/product/DAZ7DQRRR/dsp-p-type-c-up-14t-trucks-2pr?optionId=314361439&li=marketplace

But then again, once you have an idler car for your Leadville, you'll need to relay some of the yard trackage for dual gauge . . .
