With thanks to a couple of fellow modlers here is a finalised print of the fnt as she was in service with staves removed and stored away.
Details added and is a 1 print body. Even the shunters steps are printed on.
Going to toy with how to make it so it can be both with or without staves but im happy enough with these ill do the artwork and get a proper rolling version going
