Does anyone know of anyone who will produce a small number of custom wagons, OO gauge. I have been in touch with the big companies and they will only run large ish quantities, I am looking at more like 20 wagon max. Just a standard plain wagon that we could have our website name printed on the side?

Any ideas or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi there,
I looked into this myself a while back.

If you want a full custom wagon built and printed the minimum order quantity seemed to be about 250 items. If you just want a few this isn't helpful and works out quite expensive.

The alternative I found was to buy undecorated wagons and then make my own decals to go on them. I used paper supplied by Crafty Computer Paper. Here's a Link to the relevant website page.
I was quite pleased by the results but I wasn't trying for anything too complex.


If you want your own custom rolling stock, for 20 units then you're really looking at 3D printing and pretty expensive or time consuming project.

Cheers.
Mr Toad
