N-scale color printing is primarily a matter of high dimensional precision. Things have to fit together. Did you guess the prototype? The model is exact, but the paint scheme is not, that is just a test bed to train my color printing skills

How it is easy to swap a Tomytec TR04 drive with our dummy floors.
Any new "vitrine" model of our N scale Cincinnati curved side cars can be put in service with a motor drive, and go back into the shelf liberating the drive for another model.
