1-1/2" scale oil fire door

Post by JBodenmann »

Hello My Friends
Here is an oil type fire door for 1-1/2" scale. Investment cast brass. The damper in the bottom is adjustable and can be locked in position with the wing nut. The door is held closed by a wedge on the end of a chain like the prototype. Available only machined and assembled.
Price is $435.00. In stock, ready to ship.
Happy Model Building
Jack

Nice work! As usual. Inspiring to see.

Coincidentally, I just started fabricating a similar door assembly for my 90-ton Mikado!
It will mount to the detailed back head I just completed. (A future build article here.) Using steel plate to fab.

We'll see how it all works. It has different dimensions, curves, and details but is functionally the same.
I am building from photos and measurements I took off of a prototype.

Chris:
Photos will be forthcoming here, hopefully in about 1 week.
We can even get together so you can do your own photos and measurements.
To be continued.
