This brings up a great point on the original comment about model
railroaders, and military modelers. The skill set you're looking for
is actually Doll House makers, as (at least in the past) the typical
scale is 1/12th. Before anyone scoffs, you should see the level of
detail that people really into Doll Houses achieve. We're talking
amazingly detailed works of art!
There is a fairly robust home 3D printing hobby thing going too. They
could do a lot of these fairly quickly and accurately too.
The mechanical data to draft these up is surely
available in site
planning guides and maintenance printsets. It's a lot of work, but I
think it's totally feasible.
For DEC systems I agree, for some others, I honestly have no idea what
is available. I did some scratch-built modeling years ago, and the
main problem was good drawings to go from. In many/most cases, better
drawings should exist for DEC gear than I had back then for what I was
modeling.
