    Have you looked at Kallenshaan?

    Failing that a decal of his favourite train?

    Just had a look at Kallenshaan and nothing on there site.
    I was hoping just for a clip or something but I might have to go with a decal cast.
    I have a few other feelers out if they do not turn up anything I will look into the decal option.

    Found a bus but no trains that I know of. You could always do some laminates to give you a track on either side of a blank but a transfer sounds like the way to go. You could also get Tony and Perfect Pens & Pencils (http://www.perfectpensandpencils.com...&sort=priceAsc) to do an engraving for you.

    How about, if you're making it a timber, or some timber in it - an old railway sleeper? It may not be that pretty but if you're putting a decal or something around it...

    Cheers

    If you are into casting you can do a watch part pen using one of those lionel watches. Find them on ebay very cheap.

    you could make a pen that looks like a railway spike.
    Any thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
    Most powertools have sharp teeth.
    People are made of meat.
    Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.
