I have no idea what you are talking about.
I was away from the forum for a long while Jim.
I was pointing out that much of Betanusigmaphi's tin plate roster he shares here is handmade by him often using the cheapest methods possible by choice vs necessity. It reflects the spirit and tenacity of early RR modelers well imo.
I find it impressive and very worthy of praise of effort, even if the result doesn't meet some folks personal layout standards.
I figured "Class" was a bnsp joke on your part, but maybe I don't have any idea what you're talking about as well.
Myself I apply three different manufacturing techniques separately or combined: tinplate coating, 3D printing and laser cutting. All processing machines I use, are low budget DIY products. Injection molding, brass etching, die casting and tampon printing are not in my budget unfortunately. Here is one of my own European projects, the German experimental electric locomotive E03 in rapid raw 3D print and handpainted and decorated bodyshell (without pantographs so far), firstly for Scale 1 (1:32), later also O gauge (1:45) and S scale (1:64)...[by the way, Piko (G scale) and Märklin (scale 1) are making only the series version Baureihe 103]...
PS: If someone is not happy with my low standard results, then he should show us here right now his own high standard results, it's very simple.
