Policy Changes at Ridge Locomotive Works
Effective Immediately I will no longer provide firm quotes on any project.
ALL work will be done on a time and materials basis.
My current shop rate is $90 per Hour, Materials will be billed at cost plus 25%.
I will be completing all current orders under the original terms.
I will also honor any quotes I gave in the last 90 days.

Fluctuating steel prices driving you nuts?
Btw, Is there any 2.5" scale K27's boilers coming up at your place?

I built a 2.5" scale K-27 boiler 6 or 7 years ago.Mountaineer wrote: ↑Tue Jun 11, 2019 4:05 pm Fluctuating steel prices driving you nuts?

I had an extra set of parts formed at that time - they are still sitting on the shelf.
I've had a number of inquiries, but no orders.

Hi Marty,
How do we go about budgeting for a boiler if we don’t know what the total price will be?
Respectfully,
Brian

Re: Policy Changes at Ridge Locomotive Works
Well, Brian, I will give an estimate, but this just an approximation.
What adds to the cost is when the customer adds things, like mounting the water glass, or more washouts.
Crating and shipping have always been additional.
