Dear #lazyweb - Are there any services our there that 3d print (or otherwise) small one off jobs?

I have bought a model of the train that was named after my dad and I want to have it customised to look like the real thing. So I'll want two name plates making (one correctly spelled, one incorrectly).

I know the square root of bugger all about 3D printing, and have the CAD skills of a drunken hamster

Today is the 3rd anniversary of my father dying. His employer named one of their locos after him (sort of, they spelled the bloody surname wrong, but anyway...)

This evening I've been googling and found train spotters photos and videos of the loco in action.

One day I'd quite like to see "dad" in the wild as it were, do any #train or #rail enthusiasts know where I might find the timetable for him?
