UPP 3008 is going up this week in 3 versions. Decals still need some work, missing data on the ends of the tanks. Might have to "make it work" on my end. Internet photos are crappy.

These images show gen1 tanks, this will ship with updated gen2 tanks that I've reworked with open drain holes, plus plugs for the holes.

1015 couplers, 1037? trucks, 9-10 cannons to cover the 8 needed as they are very delicate.

Brake wheel is printing successfully :D Chain Tie down and grating on walkway are visible and some of the basic/standard under body details printed too.

Decal Progress on UPP3008 :D

26/08/2024

More research done on UPP3008 lead me to UP 903008 which led me back to the original car details. thanks to Utahrails :D

I found out this was a F-100-12 flat and thus was able to look in my data book and see that it had some tie downs imbeded. the data on Utahrails mentioned it had some "rails" installed to haul a steam engine to/from Sacramento at one time for display.

I've added those and pins for containers. If the containers are installed, then the pins can be shaved off as they are not universal lol

I will be test printing this week.

NOTE - the images of the Bulktainers online are old and crappy. If anyone has done research and knows the UPTU numbers on the 3, please share. OR if you have and can take pics of the old kits in N/HO that supplied decals. that too would be helpful.

cheers

Updates

UPP3008
I reached out to JTC today to see if they are working on a Bulktainer. If not, I'll probably finish them off.

For the "Shiloh", not sure about the decals. the signage is not great on the net and recreating it will be a chore. I'll likely simplify the banner to not include the items in the background. I'll likely print cannons x10 as they will be delicate.

STSF SH
Print 1 was ok, made changes today and starting it again.
