We can only hope. He hasn't made an appearance on the board since last June.

I talk to him from time to time. He’s very busy with work. He works for the company making the engines for the moon rockets.

She looks even better in person!

Looks great Dan! Hope to see you at Cabin Fever next month.

Thank you all for your answers and advice.

I found some drivers that a good friend had squirreled away. The castings had been a bit aggressively snagged at the foundry and the flanges won't finish to IBLS standards, but they will get tires and work out fine.

Thanks again!

Andy

Yes, it is. I have one.

Walt Keely has the patterns, castings and drawings for it. His username on here is: E6s 68.

I'll let him know that you're interested.

Maybe Don Yungling has something?

Good evening everyone, I’m in need of 8 10” Box-Pok driver castings for a project. I need 4 light, 2 medium and 2 heavy counterweights. I haven’t checked with Jesse at Little Engines yet. I’ll call him on Monday. They don’t need to be Little Engines castings. I know that there are some other older o...

I have some Modeltec duplicates.

Sorry, I should have said starting in 1995. With a few duplicates from earlier.

Andy Pullen

Superscale has them.

It is like someone asking "does anyone know automobile manufacturers?"

Agreed.

I machine wheels and axles. But I need more information.

Thanks,
