Hi,
I hope I can remember all this advice that is being shared - I bought myself a Curio Cutter almost 2 years ago and haven't unpacked it yet!
I have been trying to teach myself Inkscape and am using the exercise to develop a set of drawings for the platform buildings at Singleton, West Sussex, for my embryonic layout, to then translate across to the cutter.
I have copies of the original drawings from The Network Rail Archive, and whilst they show the style of building, they don't represent what was actually built!
Best wishes
Richard
