The Home Machinist!

From what I researched in the past, there really isn't any thing out there. The issue you come into is the turnout design. A number 7 from accutie maybe different from a number 7 that club xyz builds on the ground. The turnouts can vary slightly from each other, you need those drawings of the turnou...

FYI, this is not mine, I only have saved these pictures for reference, but this IS the HRC 0-4-0 cylinder pattern.

Some more...

More pictures...

Here are some good pattern photos to reference regarding your exact casting outcome.

Mammoth Locomotive Works in Colorado I believe sells the Winton 15" stuff. http://www.mammothlocomotiveworks.com/

Grand Scale Parts sells raw casting of different 5" scale/ 15" gauge parts. http://www.grandscaleparts.com/

Here is a diagram that I have had floating around, don't know where it came from, but I have always kept it around.

I have seen a steam donkey setup with a tangent burner and a firebrick lined lower ash pan that the fire swirled in as it makes itself around the firebox before going up the flues, given a longer combustion path.

I am sure the soda machine is meant to be a revenue generator that is low maintenance.

Thanks for posting the pictures of our little gathering. We are glad you and Ray got a chance to pull throttle on JT&S's shay. Hope to catch up with you and Ray at Hillcrest for Reedley Railfest.
