So nickel silver is more easy to form the shell? I was actually thinking of scanning an N scale and 3D printing it to the right scale, then forming a liquid alloy around the plastic shell...
That way I would only have to use an existing loco and swap the shells

And what equipment do you use for welding, I find them hard to precision weld, what temperature? Also the handlaidrail jig isn't very precise, needed to adjust the frog point and guard rails by hand...

Ok because handlaidrails gives the choice between hinged turnout points or fixed and before doing my first one, and because in HO Scale I used to have hinged points, I wanted to verify your experience to decide which was best...
