Hi folks. Here's everything you need to build your very own Juliet 2. Includes all of the copper needed to build the boiler!

I might be interested in a pair for a 2.5in scale bobber caboose, but definitely want to see at least an estimated price and some dimensions.

Email the seller directly. Tim Wheeler <backshopmercantileATgmail.com>

These are not "sorta Carter Brothers", or "kinda Carter Brothers", they...

Got a story for you guys... Not going to mention any names here, just going to say I work at a food store very close to a steam club.... There was a day I was going to bring in an issue of "Live Steam" magazine to show to fellow workers but I forgot and kept forgetting... Before I ever remembered t...

Those castings look like a bad pour. Lots of voids inside, and a general roughness indicate a cold pour, turbulence, excess dross, or some other problem in pouring. You might need a larger gate and feeder as well. Are the yellow pieces your patterns? If so, I would expect to see a smooth, mirror glo...
