Info request, Friends Hudson tender bottom

[NP317]

Is there a particular part no or trade name for the product that you are using as there appears to be a couple of Boelube for machining products .
do people have a preferred version .
I have never heard or used it so want to give it a try .

Same question here.

The product I purchased was the gallon that is used in conjunction with a mister. I suspect that the gallon offered is the same product, but I have no way of knowing.
I made mention my experience was many years ago. It was in the late 80's as I recall. I paid about $90 for the gallon, but I also had to purchase the mister. It was worth it.

Paul, Did you ever find the Tender Bottom?
I sold one here on Chaski many years ago, don't remember who bought it..?

John,
I never heard from anyone. I will have to fab one. I have the prototype drawings, I simply wanted to see what the casting looks like from all sides to give me an idea.

Did you reach out to John at Friends Models and or visit the website??

There are a couple pictures of this tender bottom on the website.

[Sandiapaul]

Yes I did, I just would like to see a couple more pics. At this point maybe its better I never see it, I will just use the prototype drawings!

Looks like the 'thumbnail anti-grav bronze magnet hover option' worked for the end pics. The casting is much heavier in reality, it won't float or hover when I let go of it.

I made mine out of 1/4" brass plate and soldered / bolted the 'warts' on to it.

Steamin,

This is EXACTLY what I wanted, thanks! Just for the heck of it I looked at online metals, a 12" x 36" .25 brass plate is $354. Plus shipping is probably a good chunk too!

Again, thanks for the pics, just what I wanted to see.
