Stop on by my house. I will let you drive to see how easy it really is. You can wow me with your extruding skills, make a few swept cuts and send it all home with an amazing lofted boss feature.
I have $3000.00 invested in schooling, $3000.00 in "learning curve" parts and molds that were unusable and were **thrown away** and hundreds of hours either designing parts or figuring out how to design parts which even though I absolutely LOVE it is an investment in itself. I am by far NOT a Solidworks expert - if I were I would be working in it now making a good living. But Jim King or me or anyone else is going to design S Scale diesel shells for use with an unknown drive to be produced in an unknown material by an unknown company - for free. Ummm NO! So far in the latest direction the very few things I have read that are true are from Dave Brunam. Producing trains or anything else PR is EXPENSIVE even on a low volume basis. None of the bells and whistles "isn't that neat" RP materials produce detail and smooth enough surfaces in a single print on ALL planes that are going to be acceptable for model railroad applications. Dave stated as much in getting a TT car made. The **growing** of an HO car would produce gross details because they are already oversized for HO. Push back from the keyboard and MAKE something for production and sale in any means, technique or materials you are comfortable with. The promotion and expansion of S Scale stated with you. You will see how much fun it is. Really it is only about a 5 minute investment and the orders will fall at your feet.
