We now have a range of axle boxes, buffers and othe fixing available to be printed by customers on our shapways site. As we move away from white metal castings to 3D printed fitting in our kits this allows us to offer these parts for sale to the general public.
To access these parts go onto our shape ways site at www.shapeways.com/pregroupingrailways more parts will be added as we remove white metal from our kits.

Are the printings smooth or are there still print lines in them?

I for one would rather clean off flash and solder parts together, than try and remove print lines and glue. I don't mind using plastics things like brake shoes it's brilliant.

A polished finish is available but it does cost more. The standard finish is similar to those on our white metal castings. The print lines are less than 0.1mm.
