Who Sell Economy Butterfly Fire Box Door

[heislerboy]

Who sells Economy Butterfly Door for 2.5-inch scale locomotives? I am curtly building a 2.5” scale 2-8-0 and would be needing one for my locomotive.

I would check with Tom Artzberger. I’m pretty sure he at least has castings for them

That's not a Butterfly - that's a Clamshell.

Tom Artzberger does not carry them, they use to be sell by RidgWay Roundhouse Products but know one can get a hold of Paul Lavacot and he won't get back to anybody. I am welling to buy a used one if it has all the parts and plans for it.

Oh, yeah Ridgeway is gone. I don’t know anybody who can get a response from them.
Maybe someone here has drawings and you can make one from bar stock

Hello My Friends
Anyone have a drawing of this door? I would like a copy if you do. I looked in my books and I can find drawings of everything but this door. That looks like something that would be fun to make.

Who makes a basic over sized butterfly door for coal fired 1.5 scale locos?

[Mountaineer]

Tom Artzberger did sell these in the past. I have a set he designed and made casting for. Worth asking him if he’ll make more.

Anyone have a drawing of this door?

Jack, do you mean the butterfly or the clamshell door?

What about Jeff Smith (Branchline Products)?
He builds a 2.5" scale D&RGW narrow gauge C-25 and use such a Fire Box Door on his engine.

Cheers

As far as I know Jeff's C-25 is in 1 1/2" scale. But he very well may have drawings as he offers a complete drawing package for the C-25.

I'm sure, Jeff's C-25 is definitely 2.5" scale.
I own his D&RGW C-25 Drawings, but the fire door is unfortunately not in the book.

Cheers
