Many thanks for the informed reply. I have looked in to modelling UK overhead electric railways quite extensively so I'm clear on the modelling abilities required to model over head wires.
Your quite right about the available models/kits etc and while the IM kits are good I'd thought about the 3d printing as a modelling aid and overlaying castings and etches of my own. Plus I'm in the UK and the importing adds extra cost. However I haven't found any drawings for the single level commuter trains and being in England going out measure one might be out of the question.
Thanks for the link to modelmemories as I'd not known about them. As you point out its something I can build up over time.
I shall keep researching.
Do you have a layout thread, away from Chicago land I too am partial to NJ railroads.
EDIT: Opened my eyes to find your thread next to this one!! Thanks.
Kind regards
Dave
