I'm a little stumped as I have a customer that wants a railroad pen. My brain can't seem to come up with anything. Anyone have some suggestions? Thanks for the input
Make one out of railroad tie and make a clip like a railroad spike or a miniature track.
see if you can find the TINY scale railcars (Azimiryou...please chime in!) there are some out there that look like they are small enought to cut and cast....been wanting to try but don't want to drop the $40 a car for an experiment!
Any particulars for the customer or do you have artistic freedom? The link Derek showed was really cool. Maybe have the guys at Creative Dimensions do some laser work. Use a similar method that Sylvanite used with his gunpowder pen, except maybe use coal dust. There's always segmenting. Decals....I'll keep the thought process going. Good luck either way!

I think you may be talking about N scale. I'm going to the Hobby Shop Friday to get some parts for my RC Truck. I'll have to look around. I think they have some stuff they sell just for parts.
I'll let you know how it turns out John. Probably gonna have to get the belt sander out of retirement.
