Title: Etched grill, louvres and other doodads
Post by: Justin Phillips on July 06, 2023, 13:15
I am half thinking about scratch building a simple diesel loco, but don't have the skills to create grills, louvres, window frames etc.

Does any one have any recommendations of suppliers that make such things?

Thanks.

A1 Models https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/180250/i.html?_ssn=a1models-doncaster

Both sell parts designed for standard gauge diesels, but can be adapted for narrow gauge ones too.
