After reviewing the steam of steel website I found a casting set I am interested in building. Can anyone who has purchased from steam of steel or has knowledge of this supplier comment on the service/reliablity of this supplier?

I sent and received an E-mail to the dealer in Germany. The response was that no castings for the Hl12 are available. They do have a set of castings (indicated last set) for the Lanz 4 wheel drive. If you have any information on a set of castings for the HL12 that were bought and never machine...

September 23 & 24, Central States Fairground, Fine Arts Building, Rapid City SD
