Hi folks. I'm at a point where I can take on a few new projects, and I wondered if anyone needs some BIG wheels or other items for their various grand scale projects.
I can easily take your sketch or even just basic dimensions and turn them into a CAD drawing that then produces a 3D printed foundry pattern. From there it is off to the foundry for cast iron (or aluminum) goodness. I can also provide any other parts you might need using this same process, or even create patterns for investment casting. See below for a few sample images.
Drop me a line, always happy to discuss.
Cheers,
Chris
For reference, the cast iron wheels are 9" in diameter.
Need wheels? Need patterns?

A little locomotive with 4 wheels on the track is a lot more fun
than a 1/2 finished one with 16 wheels on the bench!
