Kevin,
If you look at www.westernrails.com they have at least three HOn3 tenders that are 3D printed. One is a ET&WNC tender and the other two are D&RGW, 0470 (ex-Uintah) water car and W462 water car

That company in India did manage to bring at least a small number of their C-16's to market, but their quality was awful and so ended that venture. I've seen the locomotive offered on e-bay twice

Greetings everyone,
I hope this email finds everyone safe and well.
In the not so distant future, I’ll begin working on the D&RGW Ouray branch on my HOn3 layout of the Rio Grande Southern.
