Re: Allen Models drawing set sale, October 2022

It would be awesome if Allen Models offered official "walschaert" valve gear drawings for their moguls. There is not an official version of the walchearts valve gear for the forseeable future. Your best bet is to trade notes with John Barter who has done it on his Consolidation. Best, -Mike

Re: Need help buying brass stock

Ebay is a good choice for cheap general purpose 360 brass these days. All the little local places we used to buy scrap brass at have disappeared, but not before we built up a lifetime supply. I don't think onlinemetals.com is very cheap, but they have interesting things like half round brass that yo...

Re: WTB, Allen Models Aluminum Chloe dome castings

I currently show that we may have a sand dome base in aluminum in stock, call or email Steve Alley (jetalley@aol.com) to see if there might be a sand dome top in aluminum kicking around as well. We are selling off the existing inventory of aluminum stuff even as we offer the cast iron replacement. C...

Re: Liability insurance

I just purchased liability insurance from these guys for the estate railroads I build and equipment I sell. Was reasonable. They are a broker that sources insurance from many different places, but they specialize in railroading and scale railroading as a side item.

Re: Has anyone built a "New" Shay in 7 1/2" ?

I believe this is a scaled up Kozo Shay, saw it at the LALS 50th anniversary meet now a long time ago (2007). Not sure if it is a new shay or an old shay in terms of plans.

Re: MEG steam Wendy Reconstuction

Hey I'm alive. You can use the Wendy pictures any way you like. I have Jim's burner shown in the photos, he went back to coal full time so he gave it to me. The burner is fine after you ditch the baffle plate below the burners. The air coming in from a gap underneath the fire door is perfect. I was ...
