We thought we’d give you a quick look at some more 2mm buildings that we’ve been developing. We’ve taken to the rails (some would say we’ve gone off them) with a set of railway tracks and trackside buildings – stations, platforms, engine sheds, coaling stations etc. <\/p>\n

\"RailwayBuildings\"<\/p>\n

The girder bridge is a one piece item and will be available in our 3D-printed Shapeways store. The rest of the models will be cast in pewter.<\/p>\n

\"Track\"<\/p>\n

This close-up of a platform shows how much detail we’ve managed to build into the tracks themselves. Each track is 0.5mm across, and a sleeper is 3mm in length. A bit overscale, but it’s about as small as we could sensibly go.<\/p>\n

\"Platform\"<\/p>\n

The second set is a series of town shops – larger 3-4 story affairs that you can use to create your own bustling town centre.<\/p>\n

\"Shops\"<\/p>\n
