Future of Toy Train Manufacturing?
« on: March 15, 2014, 04:29:29 pm »
With the advent  of 3-D printers, they may be the future of Toy Train Manufacturing.
I came across this story about someone having built a Big Boy with a 3-D printer.
Very cool & wonderous possibilities!

And that was just a makerbot! Imagine what we could do with a Siemens Lazermetal 3D Printer that SpaceX uses to build rocket parts.
