ENGINEERING
From rail and heritage engineering to subcontract machining, maintenance work and industrial components, 17D supports customers who need practical engineering knowledge and reliable machined parts.
DISCUSS YOUR REQUIREMENT →Our work is not limited to one sector, but our strongest customers tend to have something in common: they need parts that fit, function and arrive when needed.
Whether the job is a repeat CNC batch, an obsolete rail component, a one-off repair part or a difficult reverse engineering project, we approach it with the same practical engineering mindset.
These are the types of customers, components and engineering problems where 17D can add real value.
Full-size train parts, replacement components, urgent requirements and practical rail engineering support.
Reverse engineering, legacy components, obsolete parts and practical engineering where drawings may be limited.
CNC turning, milling, one-offs, repeat batches and reliable machining support for engineering businesses.
Responsive support for repair parts, replacement components and production-critical engineering problems.
Specialist components, machine parts, brackets, shafts, bushes, modified parts and general workshop support.
Continued support for 5" and 7.25" gauge locomotive and wagon parts, rooted in our company history.
Rail is where 17D’s story began and where much of our practical understanding still sits. We understand that railway components are often more than simple machined parts — they may be urgent, obsolete, difficult to source or critical to keeping equipment moving.
Our background in miniature steam, preserved railway engineering and full-size train parts gives us a practical appreciation of fit, function, material choice and the importance of getting things right.
READ OUR STORY →Support where drawings are missing, incomplete or where an existing sample part needs recreating.
Machined components for repairs, upgrades, obsolete parts and practical maintenance requirements.
Repeat CNC turning and milling work for customers who need reliable subcontract capacity.
Responsive engineering help where timescale, communication and practical thinking matter.
We are a good fit for customers who need more than a basic supplier relationship. Many enquiries involve a mixture of machining, material sourcing, problem solving, fit requirements and practical decision-making.
That is where a small, responsive engineering company can add real value.
Send us your drawing, sample part, sketch or problem and we will let you know how we can help.
