Re: Simple, good looking upgrade for your CliShay
Hello, I was curious if you had the castings made? I was thinking about the same idea but was going to use aluminum with a steel tire.

Re: Restoring a MEG steam 'Wendy'
Mike,
Do you have a picture of the gondola? I was curious as to how one would sit on the gondola and still reach the controls.
I am still working on my Wendy but looking ahead to the tender or another solution.
Thanks for your feedback and jumping back on an old post!

Smokebox front - Looking for a casting
Hello,
I am looking for a smokebox casting that will work on a 10" sched 40 pipe smokebox. The loco is a freelance in 2-1/2" - 3" scale running on 7-1/2" track. The less detail the better because is cast-in bolt size, etc. Any ideas?
Thanks!
