Western Pacific GS64 pulling mixed freight.
Hello everyone! Posting this ‘cause it’s one of my favorite locos to run and tried doing some very mild scenery. The cars are 1:64 which I understand are too big for HO, but I collect these as well so wanted to include them.

Bachmann 2-8-2 Mikado western Paciifc project HO: Part 1
Hi everyone I would like to share my project of my Bachmann USRA 2-8-2 it was originally Union Paciifc 2492 but i removed the decals with Walthers solvaest liquid to remove which I successfully did as you can see the engine is unlettered black currently I’m waiting for the decals to arrive soon it’s gonna be Western Paciifc 325 and its design will be inspired by WP 165 0-6-0 preserve at wprr reason why I’m doing this is because I always wanted a western pacific steam locomotive for a while but it’s kinda of hard to find and that my up mikado locomotive was a bit boring don’t get me wrong it did looked cool I feel western pacific would be a fantastic USRA 2-8-2 since Bachmann never done a WP version sound only dcc ready in the photos is currently what it looks like unlettered black and last photos is the concept on what’s gonna likely look like Ik it’s 324 on it but it’s gonna be 325 instead and a real life image of WP 165 the prototypical inspiration of it and yea this project is gonna be cool and I will post part 2 of this showing that it’s completed and others. what do y’all think of this project idea?

Question:
I'm a pretty ok wood worker, I'll be building a layout from scratch starting in a few weeks. Should I use my wood working abilities? Or should I look into 3d printing?
