a Tom Senior 'E' at the moment which runs rather to slowly for some

The current issue of FineScale Modeler has an article on having
custom pieces made by "printing" from a CAD drawing. We can't scan in

it turned out well.  So I picked up the next kit with two soldiers
that included two new figures.   One bicycle I notched the front
vertical bar so that I can pose the front wheel at an angle.  The main

Anyone has seen detailed photos of this set?  (built or not build) I'd like

at lower speed it would work great on plastic as well.  I have seen
the foot pedal type rheostats but I was wondering if anyone sells one
