Searching through the forum I came across a thread about laser cutting where mike aka WVLR had mentioned to someone that he might be able to help with some parts. A swift pm resulted in a simple plan to have a go at producing some carriage sides. As I began to draw out the sides in 16mm scale I started to think about what other parts would I find awkward to make at home, again a quick email and mike agreed that we would have a go at some other parts.
What happened next developed VERY quickly. Mike informed me that he wanted to produce some parts that he could sell and I wanted carriages. The idea again evolved that together we would produce the drawings and then mike would manufacture the basic parts for ALL 17 carriages. A busy week or so of scaling and drawing and then converting to cad and here we now find ourselves. This morning the postman delivered to me the first 4 carriages in kit form.
Here are the photos of the 4 kits that arrived.
