Hi all ...........I need some help

Hi all in the sunny US Cad_CAM_EDM_DRO heaven

Me Ronald an European mixture made '56

living since 10 years in France now and building
live-steam locomotives and other model engine
but mostly as big as for 7 1/4 and as it is
norrow gauge the modell is about 1:4 so really big

All people in Europe converting a mill
talking Fanuc, Heidenhein, and other expensive stuff

if it is cheap it is table router for aeromodelling

but a steam locomotive even 1:3 is a real steam engine
the last a 2+2 narrow gauge from s Jva sugar mill
ex german WW1 loco we build from scratch
the classic way....but now we like to build
2 one for us and for a friend...so some CAD_CAMEDM
MAGIC would be nice...

and we, a small club we want to go CAD CAM...

question Gecco's etc they have no branch in Europe
menas for us customs, 19.6 % VAT and a lot to pay
for paper work

me I'm a real-time nut coming from ex Intel RMX, Vertex
working with huge Job's gantry .....yeah defense....

so as ther is Gimp, Blender, Orcad, EMS we could go Linux
