Howdy folks, Has anyone etched parts in either brass or stainless steel? I saw a kit on Micro Mark that was't too expensive. I am wanting to make sturdier ladders for the AMB caboose so I can leave a couple at the train club. The wooden ladders won't last very long when folks begin handling them. Best Regards, mike
Mike - Haven't tried it myself but if you give it a whirl I'd love to hear how it turns out. Somewhere I have some old articles on scratchbuilding caboose ladders from brass wire and strip. They looked lovely but labor-intensive...I can't add more hours to my day, but if etched parts let's me use those hours more efficiently...
