  <description><![CDATA[New prints in polished WSF arrived today from Shapeways, and  made me come back from work earlier. <img src="http://www.shapeways.com/forum/images/smiley_icons/icon_wink.gif" border=0 alt="Wink"><br />
Both I and my 8 years old boy were very excited. <br />
<br />
Pieces all look very nice ! For the smaller ones I have been using a 1mm thick small loop.<br />
<br />

<br />
Two of the pieces were due to fix some older G-scale switches, with too large gaps, that made locomotives go of the rails. <br />
I made a mess on this one. I guess I was out by a few degrees when I measured angles on the switch.<br />
But the material is flexible, so gluing it should work.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
All the rest is about allowing my son using Lego bricks together with the G-scale track in his room.<br />
This includes some couplers to be used with others cars. The advanced coupler version has a hook, but I am not sure how it will resist over time as I fear the spring part is a bit too fragile.<br />
<br />

<br />
I also got axle boxes for metal wheels - this will need some post-processing work to lower friction, as I designed the piece a bit too tight.<br />
<br />

<br />
That's it for now ! Let's play !<br />
