A friend sent me a link to this today. The 3d scanning can probably provide a much more accurate set of files than something hand drawn. Stepping looks like it may still be an issue since their example loco is much larger than n scale. I couldn't find any info on what set up they have for printing, but I assume its FUD or XHD.

They've already exceeded their start-up costs with kickstarter contributions so best of luck to them. Maybe this idea will catch on on our side of the pond.

I was hoping that they were making these to 2mm scale... and was disappointed by the fact that they are not...

I was hoping to at least pick up 15 of the slate wagons... but it looks like I'll still end up scratching them myself.
