I believe I've mentioned this project previously, but it's now in the final stages and only has 9 days left. Anyone fancy helping contribute?

$60k seems a bit overkill for just molding single parts... Im sure they can get a batch done with the received amount. Maybe.

ME rails already make these don't they?

Unfortunately while that may be true, they're moulding 4 different radii and 2 straight pieces, plus the metal components for the 9v track. That's 6 different moulds, duplicated to a total of 12 due to 9V requiring the slot.

Yes... And no. Many people still haven't received all their orders, and their production 9v track has yet to materialise. While it's unfair to criticize ME Models completely due to supplier troubles and illness of one of their contractors, they're hardly winning awards for their communication.
