Over at the Mamod Forum (www.mamodforums.co.uk) I've been involved in a group build loco project, at present the project is in the design phase, prototyping some components and testing stages.
The loco is 16mm scale and will require a custom smokebox casting and a small number of lost wax castings, some parts will be sourced from commercial supplies but the project would really benefit from having a model engineer onboard with access to a home foundry for producing good quality castings from supplied patterns.
Is there anyone here who would be interested in this project? At present there are a dozen or so members who would be interested in the project, batches of castings would be small, maybe batches of ten for a reasonable fee?
Apologies for this being an "I want post"! :bow:
