Very nice detailed parts.
I am looking forward when 3D-printing becomes a two step process. One guy/company makes and sells the (electronic) drawings somewhere on the world and local "print shops" like copy shops do the actual work in your hometown. That would make the supply of a lot of small parts very easy.
It would be a perfect way to get replacement parts fast and reliable all over the world. Just ask Athearn/Atlas etc. for the file of the broken part and get a printout at your local print shop.
