First , hello to all from someone new to the forum. I've been a model railroader most of my life and a reader of MR since about 1965...but been away from the hobby for the past 5 years or so. I'm pretty excited about the changes in technology that have occurred in this short time (I always hated block wiring.) <br /> <br />Here's the question. As part of my business (I own a trophy and awards company), I have a CO2 laser used for engraving and cutting a variety of materials. Does it make sense to market a service that would make custom cuts available to modelers? My thinking here is that commercially available laser-cut structures are rather expensive, and this would be a low cost (?) alternative to create the <i>exact </i>structure you need. <br /> <br />Obviously we don't have structural plans/architectural drawings, but would this be of interest anyway? Is it already available? How much would the service be worth to the average modeler? <br /> <br />A lot of questions...sorry. But I love the hobby and thought this might be a great way to have a little fun with the machine. <br /> <br />Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! <br /> <br />Jim
