Great stuff Brian. Would one of the new JLTRT Class 22s make an appearance in this fantastic line-up? Test renders at Pete's ralinuts blog http://pete.railnuts.com/2012/03/12/2180/ Cheers, Simon

Thanks for the photos. Just saw and heard this leaving Falmouth Docks. The driver gave it a little burst of power on departure. Certainly got me out of my seat! Shame they are going to build over water tank/engine shed area with 12 flats. Simon

AutoCAD is just much more awkward, though is more powerful as a 3D modeller now than it ever has been. I would look at Autodesk's Inventor, a direct competitor with Solidworks, or the beta Inventor Fusion. Inventor can export as STL or IGES or any other file type for RPing It depends upon personal choice, and immediate context. Every package has an evangelist! For full scale this is quite interesting to compare: http://www.machineconcepts.co.uk/baldwin242/baldwin.htm Simon

Looks good! Z sccale model impressive. I really believe this will eventually transform the hobby. fabathome.org At work we are looking at new high def RP machines. Not a huge build envelope, but higher than dental/jewellery machines. The test file, unfortunately not related to railways, was very impressive indeed. These have very fine +/- 125micron detail and a variety of materials, including wax based for investment casting (what we will be using it for). Won't mention brand, but I believe that shapeways are looking at adding one to their services. Simon
