In the latest edition, Anthony Mount uses water cut wheels for the rack engine.
 
 1) where would I find a company able to do this
 
 2) what would be an average cost for such a small quantity ie one or two items
 
 3) what would have to be given to the company in the way of drawings for the components t be cut

You should be able to find someone local. If you can give them a DXF file then they should be able to put that straight into the machine. Though they can work from a paper drawing you will have to pay for them to convert it.
 
This guy advertises on several other forums, never tried him myself, worth an e-mail to see if he can do it

I'd also recommend SCISS Ltd.They cut out some wheels for a model of Trevithick's 'Catch Me Who Can' loco I built a while ago,and I was very pleased with the results-and the cost!They are a helpful company.
