Hello Maurice

I use York Modelmaking at the following address.

https://yorkmodelrail.com/bespoke-services/

They request drawings derived from a particular type of old software but Julie is very helpful and if you provide decent detailed drawings from other software like autocad she will redraw to suit their system.

They did the cross bracings on my station roof below out of 0.8mm wood which would have taken forever to cut myself:

I've used 4d Model Shop (modelshop.co.uk) for laser cut acrylic.

York Model Making have been helpful with other projects.

Both were very helpful.
