    Nprr minitonka

    It helps a little bit, I could probably use the 3D model to help with some dimensions. What id really like to find is some patent numbers for some of the parts of the locomotive

    Custom castings

    Custom castings

    Thanks for the reply brother bear. I've updated my drawing. The engine is very loosely based on an engine I found in a book that was published in 1906. Hopefully we could work something out, I hope to work with you as my father in law and I could use all the help we can get

    Custom castings

I need custom castings made for my parts, but I do not have the equipment or the know how to do any of it myself and I don't know where to go to get these parts made. Is there a place...
