Evening all,
Query for you; has anyone used a 3D printer for rolling stock? If you have, what have you printed, what printer did you use and who supplied the programming software?

Obviously there will be a fairly steep learning curve but with the cost of quality rolling stock (coaches), is it a viable route to consider?

Think there have been some threads on the subject in here. However if you really want the full monty someone has been writing in the Gauge 1 Society Magazine for a few issues now on the very subject in excruciating detail.
