    2” Scale Saturated Steam Tangye Build

    Hi John I was gifted the molds for the engine about a year ago. I hope to make the castings available. I have found a foundry in Maine but they don’t do cast iron. I have had them cast some parts for the 1/8 scale locomotive I am building. Lack of funding is a big factor. I hope to shoot some...
