Never have done CNC but I had access to a laser cutter in high school which allowed me to make some cool train pieces as part of our 3D design course (with the teacher's permission). My high school high valued visual arts which allowed me to be creative with both train and non-train pieces; the 3D design courses are what I miss the most from high school (was supported to have my 5 year reunion this year). If I had the option to have an at-home machine, I think I would still stick with a laser cutter over a CNC router because laser cutters allow you to etch glass/acrylic which allows for amazing looking pieces. Nonetheless, definitely complementary hobbies; great idea for a thread!
