From my emails with Dennis it doesn't seem like more sets are economically viable at this point. One reason I got this set was, historically, so many nice casting sets have dissapeared over the years. I knew I really liked this one so went ahead and got it. I'm not a "casting hoarder", I only...

Thank you GreenTwin! It is quite a kit...and I'd love to build it but too many other projects in the queue! Time...the most valuable commodity.

Here are the castings, this is the ME 2 cyl marine engine. This is my description of it. Perhaps I should just post in the right forum as for sale! I bought this set from Dennis Howe several years back. I haven't touched it and if I were to build all the stuff I want to build I would need at...

I have a set of castings and drawings of this engine for sale...check the other forum!

Dale, did you ever do a step by step on the wheel castings?

Interesting...I never thought of that! Lots to learn here but aonemarine's results certainly are great!

Yes I have considered it...along with everything else! I'm reading and watching a lot now. I still don't get how the cavity is able to fill without and air pockets with the ceramic shell method, but in many videos it does not seem to be a problem.

OK so I watched a lot of your videos, great stuff! But I have this nagging question having some lost wax experience...how do you get such great fill with just a static pour, no vacuum? Your parts fill with the top down and bottom up with air pockets above no problem??!!

Thanks for your reply, I want to make mainly parts for live steam locomotives, not so much large parts like drivers and cylinders, but smaller stuff like details and pumps, etc..

I guess the entire process...I can just look it up, but your results are so great that if you have any other info showing the process i would love to see it. I'm in process of setting up for a lost wax foundry at the moment, but tis for smallish stuff only. I'd like to do bigger eventually.

Excellent! Do you have further info on the whole process?

Another NJ member here. Welcome

Very nice, those round collet organizers look cool but drive me nuts on the hardinge at work.We have the toolholders on a revolving tree which works really well. Also I like your labels, I do the same with my drill and endmill storage, very handy to have both the decimal and fraction. Despite...

Here are a few pics.

I would be on that in an instant if it were nearby!

John, I don't see a link to plans on Gerd's site. But I know not nearly a lick of German! can you point to a link to plans? Thanks!

Nice work. Are castings for this available anywhere?

Thanks for the info! I have built steam and stirling(and once got about 1/2 way thru "Mastiff") but never a gas engine....I think this is the one! Thanks again George!
