Hello

Can larger fixtures be made?

If so what will the extra cost be?

I am primarily interested in something larger then the #12.
Probably a #16 or #20.

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely

/Leo Sandström

just out of curiosity,

the #12 comes out to about 11" (i think?)

Sorry, I forgot to mention my scale here.

Im talking N scale, where a #10 fixture is about 20 cm long. (about 8")

Larger fixtures should be doable in N, or is there something else thats preventing larger sized fixtures from being made?
