Coventry Compound Vertical Casting kit and drawings for sale

[NRHangar]

This is another kit that my father had, this one I think he actually did the casting himself with his old college professor from the U Minnesota. I remember when they were making the molds and when he went over to the professor's house to do the casting, that was 15-20 years ago, he was like a kid about. It looks like a 1/2 scale size of the of original design by Coventry in the UK in 1931. There is a full set of drawings and the castings. Let me know if you need more pictures. Thanks for looking. As with all of these, I have no idea of value, please let me know what you are willing to pay by PM. I am not looking to start bidding wars. I will collect the offers and then notify the buyer. Thanks!

Are castings still ava.? Do they include prints?

The castings look like they are aluminum. This set should be cast iron or bronze. Could you confirm the material? Also, Mr. Coventry came from England, but designed and sold his models in the US. Most of the locomotive castings and drawings are available from Friends Models.
