Sure, Pieter... I agree all the way around. I'm just saying that the sales of a small detail/accessory part can't be used to judge the amount of return that would come from something such as a diesel. Maybe I read too much in Bill's post, but that was the first impression I got from his comment (the part about ord ers falling at your feel ). My fault if I read too deep into that.
I have actually tried the Google Sketch-Up software and it really is VERY simple to use... although I did not spend more than about 30 minutes with it on my first sitting. I was not aware, however, that Sketch-Up drawings were usable by Shapeways. Good info... and maybe the start of something big for me (and S).

Everyone should do it. Hello John; I suspect Bill was pushing back a bit at the idea that this was really quick/easy/cheap process. There is still work involved. Before someone jumps in with a GP40, you might want to try the process with something smaller, say a nose and radiator section to make the AM U25B into a later U23B (I don't know that is all that would be needed, just an example) or maybe a new type of door or car end. For those not wanting to duplicate Bill's investment, the Shapeways site has info on doing the 3D work in Google's free, on-line SketchUp software > http://sketchup.google.com/intl/en/ < and converting the resulting files to something usable by Shapeways. I have not done this, so I can't speak about how effective it is. Pieter E.
