I know that if I take an image I have scanned in as a .BMP and send it to my laser through a paint program or even imported into my cad program all I can do is raster burn the image. There is no vector data that can be used. Is there a way that vector data can be extracted from or converted from a .BMP type drawing?

say I scanned in a scratch build drawing posted in Model Railroader magazine. How can I get the vector data needed to cut the material to make the structure? 

This is the first building kit I ever assembled. We're going back about 30 Years. I dug..this old stone building out of a box in my parents basement. I can't remember who built the kit, maybe someone can enlighten me. It was available at any hobby shop back in the day. I never thought there was use for it, but maybe there is.

I was surprised to see ME's latest MR ad had fine print that Code 55 Flex track in HO and various narrow and dual gauges will be available again starting in January.

It also says all new tooling.

I was attempting to change the volume of the motor and now the front headlight doesn't work.  First the headlight was flashing then I tried setting the CV259 back to the 128 factory setting and now the light does not come on. 

I think I missed some steps, anyone have any suggestions.
