I didn't know Rapido was moving into Z Scale. Seriously though, good job!

And did you cast the parts of 3D print them? Seriously impressive work.

Ah, etched. Of course. I'd been reading up on brass etching, since many models in Z are etched brass. Something to try someday. I read that you need a good voltage source with brass, so I got the impression it was sensitive and even finicky (for beginners anyway). Is N-S easier to work with? Just curious as to your experiences with the process...

N-S is just a bit harder and doesn't bend as easy as brass.

Is it gauge 20 nickel silver? Are they laser etched or liquid etched?

Is it gauge 20 nickel silver? Are they laser etched or liquid etched? It's 0.25mm what is similar to gauge 32, i don't know the etching process, it's done by a supplier.

Who designed the sheet on the software, you I presume right? It reminds me of an animek model that needs to be assembled
