TT scale 'topgon' and a 40' high cube boxcar. I know zip about topgons but I believe fairly modern, but can't see why it couldn't be bashed into something not modern ...

I'd caution against buying these. The Frosted Detail material which they're made of has warping problems on bigger objects. Otherwise I'd have offered my models in this material. I've posted pics of said warping somewhere on the site if anyone wants to dig them up.

Looks like open hopper... without bottom hatches. :)
Can anybody tell some about the prototype?

Of course it's very pity if it will warp... :cry:

Why not contact the designer, who apparently does most of his work in Z scale and ask him to make the TT wagons in one of the other materials?

I have contacted the designer and he has scaling the high cube and the gondola to TT. It wasn't printable with White Stronge Flexible (WSF). It´s more work for him, to make it able to print in WSF.
