Hi Everyone,
I work as a steel erector by trade and started PlaymoParts to keep myself busy between jobs and over quiet periods in the winter.
Most of what I make is for my kids as often the only way to get a train or a set for a reasonable price is to buy one thats incomplete and make the parts myself.
I'm extremely fortunate to still have my complete childhood brass track sets. This has let me take detailed measurements and test parts to ensure they are a good fit.
I wanted to start this thread to ask if there was anything people are missing for their Playmobil sets or G-scale sets generally.
Currently on my desk is the 4053 Yellow Work Train:
The roof and airhorn is next on my list, but I'll be looking at all the parts in this set in due course.
There's also the possibility of designing a conversion chassis that will make it compatible with the RC motor units.
I would also like to make a complete kit of the works train for those with a spare RC motor unit.
Somthing you can't find or would rather not pay collectors prices for? Add it to this thread and I'll take a look.
If its a viable product and suitable for 3D printing, I'll do my best to make it available.
You can send me a part, I'll replicate it and send it back to you to test fitment. There is no design fee, I just ask that you cover postage and material costs.
