Nope, not bored yet!

(I wonder if a 2mm version of that is possible...)

The answer is possibly. I've just successfully 3D printed my own in 00 scale using Shapeways and as I am ordering more I've just uploaded an 50% scaled down version which should be about 2mm scale. The test print will probably be back mid to late November 2023

Many thanks for the info regarding the curb rail - too much reliance on a drawing! I will probably get onto this once I have the 3d printed chassis back and tested it - vary rarely do I get things exactly right first time so there will probably be other things to alter like the clearance between the top of the wheels and sole bar. In any case I also need to add the curb rail to the version of the chassis I intend to use on the Queens Coach (see below)

As to the Guards version, I have been thinking about it but it is not on my immediate list as I have already made a six wheeled version (see https://www.shapeways.com/product/WQ4HB3U9Z/gwr-tadpole-a-diag-s5-part-2-body?optionId=100146999)

I have now uploaded all the remaining components (the body and bogies and have ordered them from Shapeways. Parts due 11th December.

Just uploaded the underframe to Shapeways - a few minor wall thickness warnings om some of the details but hopefully these will not stop them from printing it.
