Sorry if you though I was lighting rockets John. - Just pointing out the absurdity of posting a list of 'items to come' when they are already promised to a sales partner. I am not interested in those files myself.

Now I have seen the issue of the bedplate sizing limitations, it is unlikely that I will progress the Gresley Buffet Car and don't wish to purchase Dreadnought Kits after my previous experience with the LNWR signal box fittings debacle.

As for transferring the website database, whilst I used RMWeb as an example, I would also prefer Western Thunder over RMWeb anytime!

Totally understand Robert. There are lots of people out there selling bits that are 3D printed but sadly its all too easy to buy a printer and push print without them understanding how to perfect settings and parameters to achieve quality.

Lots of people are sadly happy to send out any old print and think they have done a wonderful job which leads to a flooded market with silly cheap prices but equally low quality. Some are good and even better than I can get but we charge accordingly. The costs are not simply a printer and a bit of plastic but my time and knowledge to get it right because I am not interested in churning out poorly produced rough prints.

I presume from your comments regarding not being interested in dreadnought coaches and presuming quality would be as poor as a different vendor, you did not see the quality of those models on display at the AGM a few weeks ago?

Robert,

That comment was intended in the nicest way ... you actually originated the most intensive exchange of views in a long while! You brought the forum back-from-the-dead!
Regarding the kits being produced by Ant Terranova : Please don't pre-judge them on the basis of your experience with the signal box parts.
Ant uses the same type of Bambu Lab printers that I am using and the finish is in a different league to that of the machines used by the producer of your signal box parts. 

Regards,
John.

P.S. Since typing above I see Ant has responded.
