I've just sent off the artwork for a GER Westinghouse brake pipe, to be 3D printed. If the result looks okay, I'm going to try and have a batch cast in brass.
My artwork is based on John Gardner's drawings published by the GERS.
Is there anyone out there who would be interested in buying a few? More importantly, is there anyone prepared to vet my patterns for accuracy, if I send you one, before committing to brass?
