I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes!
I've got a few ideas about developing a small 16mm Garden Railway Loco, in between myself and a model engineering laser company, and buying off the shelf parts, I'll need some parts turned on a lathe. It would be very small quantities, and very simple parts, things like bronze bearings and silver steel axles, with a few shoulders turned on the ends.
The small batches would be something like 12 sets of bronze bearings for an 0-4-0 Loco and axles to match.
Would anyone be interested, or can anyone recommend someone who would be interested in such small quantities? It's just a stab in the dark really. And early days for the loco, but after some success selling bufferbeams and parts for loco's the next step seems to be to package it all together!
It's all for 16mm:1ft scale, narrow gauge running on 32mm track, so the axles would be something like 70mm long, turned down to 4mm for the crank, 5mm for the bearing and 6mm for a press fit for the wheels. Obviously I'd supply dimensioned drawings when I'm at that stage!
Many Thanks in advance for any help!
