I thought I'd take a small break from the McKeen Car drawings, which are staring to bother me as it's very hard to draw arched windows, on an oval wall, with the proper look.  Oh well, I took an hour and created this part for anyone who wants a "Van Dorn" Car end.  I don't know how perfect I made the shape and depth, but it's visually close, and has the same number of rings as the real ones.  Is strictly made this for those who are building kits and who want a car end to replace the regular car ends you get in the kits.  If you think there should be a change to the model, let me know, and if you can help fix the problem, that would be even better.

The link is above, and here, for the cheapest one, it's $10.95 per end, that was about the cheapest I could make it.  There are other materials I am allowing it to be printed, but those cost more. If you click the third image from the left on the bottom bar, it will give you the unpolished, flexible and strong plastic.
