I bought some castings from Brad Smith for some Bremens many years ago, I think they were the last he had and I recall him telling me the patterns had been destroyed , I think in a foundry fire.The quality of the castings I received was not that good. There was a fair amount of prefabrication required as well (mainly for the cylinder block)so I built my own patterns, altered some areas of the design to suit myself and drew it up in Autocad. I paid a patternmaker to make the pattern for the beam as this is was beyond me at the time and because it is so visible it had to be a really good casting. I still have a set for the Bremen Original somewhere.
