Good place to have brass cabs etched?

Hey all,

I figured you guys would know where I could get some brass cabs made for my pair of Yosemite Valley steam locomotives. I'll create a .dwg file of the cabs as they'd lay flat on a sheet to be etched and then send them to the manufacturer...but who can do this for me?

Any services you've used before with success?

They look good. Worth the trans-Atlantic shipping?

Much cheaper than anyone in the states and they have no minimum size sheet order.

You can cut the cost even further if you send them etch-ready artwork. They now have some really good tutorials on how to do that.
