I have limited supply of Okadee blow down valves.
These valves were produced by Barry Hauge.
I have been working with David Bortz to try to bring back the SuperScale product line.

Whenever I see "Superscale Locomotive" I visualize a Yellowstone built 4:1 instead of 1:4.

I can imagine after 2020, this may be a stretch but how are you and David coming along with the Superscale return? I remember the beauty of the parts in the catalog and so hope when it does return I’ll eventually have money to purchase and add them to my loco I’ll be building over the next several years. Hope all is well with everyone btw.

Jen Carey has not been on Chaski for nearly three years. No one seems to know what became of the deal to sell Superscale.

I didn't get the memo. I would have though Jen Carey would have announced something here.

For what it is worth, I am producing the Mosley headlight that Barry sold at one time.
I am also bringing back the locomotive bell that Barry made.
I am casting the bell in bell bronze, not silicon bronze.
The top mount style previously sold by Rod Johnson in Canada, will be produced with a different
hanger, as it was previously sold the hanger held the bell too high in the harp.
It did not look right.
The front mounting will be unchanged.
