Received a package of an IA etching from Evan,

Looks very detailed at first glance, so looked for instructions, no instructions :(

Gently peeled the masking tape off oneside of the styrene, hmm not gentle enough as the skeleton side frames came off with the masking tape, not good, will have to glue those back on.

Had all the separate bits on the table, printed out a picture of the IA from the computer to get an Idea of how things went together,

Now ready to glue.

Attached to this article you will find the files that will enable you to create your own Nz120 J5 Sheep Wagon in 0.4mm ply.

Attached to this article you will find the files that will enable you to create your own IA in styrene.  You should be able to track down a friendly laser etcher through the Yellow Pages, take these files to them with some 0.5mm styrene and be up and running in no time.

Two files are provided;  The first is a cutting template where the laser will cut right through the styrene, the second is the raster template, where the laser will score a line.  Also included is a license that controls the distribution of these files.  PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ IT!  A more user friendly version is included on the "Read More" link below.

 If you are unable to do so, I am able to provide a sheet of parts for $20 (includes material, cutting and postage).  Contact me here if you are interested.

Today we have another review of a Trackgang kit. This time its the XP. I initially brought this to investigate the possibility of converting it to an Xa. 30 seconds after I opened the packet that plan went the way of the dodo. The only thing left? Build it as god intended (well, almost).

The box (Tauranga to Nelson in 24 hrs) contained the following bits. The casting are, as one would expect, crisp with very little flash.
