I am the Dorset Area Group Organiser for the 3mm Society. The reason for choosing 3mm is that I can do some real modelling without the distraction of Ready to run models. At present I have a 3mm layout, Hennock, which has been exhibited several times. It is also booked for several shows in the future. Currently I am building another 3mm Layout-Teignford. Please mail me if you have a similar interest,query or wish to convert to 3mm.

3D Printer from Maplins.
I see that Maplins are taking advance orders for a 3D printer.
The Velleman K8200 is offered for £699.99 and would appear to be similar to that used to produce our 54/64/74XX Pannier bodies.
I would assume that some software will be needed to enable printing- printing in several colours is available-blue, black, red and white are mentioned but not mixable when printing.
At this price I would be tempted but my computer skills I fear won't be up to the standard required.
