Re: 3D Printing – Metropolitan Chesham Coaches, 4mm/OO
Hi mattmay05

These things are never right first time.
Like you say sometimes it takes more than one person to get these things right.
if they ever do go to print PM me.
regards John

Re: Sudbury-on-Sea (N gauge)

Hi all

None of the previously used programs work mutter mutter.

Re: New Mexico HO layout
Hi SR/ScR Fan
Given the BNSF is a merger of the BN and the AT&SF and the BNSF loco is fresh out of the paint shop as it should be.
Any BN and AT&SF locos going in to the facility should be of a suitable care worn appearance.
Nice job on the office shame to hide it under a roof.
