3D printing has come a long way and there are some really fine models on the market. Narrow Planet kits use 3D printed shells, mostly on Minitrains drives. They make fine models if assembled carefully.
Fourdees models are also 3D prints and they are excellent!
Happy times!

Maybe it is their very British look, which is not always appealing to us. Compared to North American or continental European steam engines, British engines look a little "naked" - void of any pipes and fittings that usually adorn steam engines.
Here is what did with a shapeways product and a Kato drive:

Is it HOn30?

Very sharp. Shapeways get some credit but the paint job is all yours.
I wasn't really aware of this scale other than knowing Bachmann had made some Thomas and Friends characters to run on N Scale track. If there was some good detailed models based on the Talyllyn I would be tempted to dip my toes into this scale, even if just for a small diorama type layout. I have always been fascinated by the narrow gauge lines in Wales and I want to make the trip from the states to the UK to see them someday.

"Rheneas" is based on Talyllyn Rlwy.´s "Dolgoch" and there is a conversion kit available from Shapeways.
"Skarloey" is based on Talyllyn Rlwy. #1 "Talyllyn" and there is also a conversion kit for this loco.
A trip to Wales to visit the "Great little trains of Wales" is worth every penny! I was there 12 years ago to celebrate my 50th birthday and I can tell you there is only 1 rival to that experience - a trip to Silverton on the D&S NG RR.
