Very interesting. Somewhere there is also other Soviet/Russian locomotives with somewhat lower but still very good details. Also a bit cheaper than this model. It seems that its just a perfect time to start SLS 3D printer project. Some time ago I made FDM type 3D printer just to make parts for my models, but results show that FDM is not suitable for anything small. Only bogies for TEP70 and some parts for P36 were made with reasonable quality. Now its time to switch to laser sintering technology (I am mechatronic engineer and if there will be interest in these things maybe I can start a topic on DIY 3D printers ). And again- thanks for sharing that link.
