    Update: Got their 40' RPO and the printing is just BEAUTIFUL! Printing is MUCH better than SW, prices are much better than SW as well, and the full interior is just great (although you cannot see much if any through the windows). After just visiting their website again I see they are working on an SP boxcar that I'm going to have to get (now I really need to find someone to make the custom early SP Overnight decals). Great stuff guys!

    Unpaid, unrequested review from a very satisfied customer

    OK, I want one. And I don't even model SP. It will go on a fantasy short line along with the Wheels of Time Harriman coaches. A 15' RPO compartment is perfect for a short line, because it would be hard to justify anything bigger. And, that 40' length will be a nice eye-catcher when run with those other cars.

    Just got another loco shell printed by Out of the Box and was stunned by the quality, the smoothest, hi-res RP print I've ever seen. I thought it was done by Shapeways and then realized it was a Shapeways file printed by OOB.

    Sign me as 'not a fan of FUD' and happy to see this come along.

    It traveled daily from SSF to Colma in Daly City, usually behind a FM switcher. I 'Bashed, one years ago for my cousin who road it from El Camino High School.

    Nick... !!! That is a seriously cool looking model. I will be looking for that and other similar models you make. I second the Baldwin roadswitcher diesels... and perhaps the Alco HH600 and HH660 switchers.

    It looks like they were done on a Form Labs 2 type printer. Your right, great prints and looking forward to building them
