Re: Allen Models drawing set sale, October 2022

There has to be at least several versions of walscheart drawings for the allen engines. All the Solar ones had it added, then I've seen other non solar locomotives with the Walscheart fitted. I would think it wouldn't be "that" difficult to find a set of drawings. Then C Brew on here put b...

Does allen offer these drawings?

Also, do the allen drawings have the upgraded/"fixed" rocker shaft design for the stephenson, equalized brakes, equalized 2 wheel lead truck?

Just curious, what type of CNC machine do you have? does it take a while to program it?

Re: 1.5" scale 2-6-0

surely it wouldn't be "that" expensive to make a wood pattern for the cylinder castings. Then other drive wheels from the mercer0-4-0 / RRSc etc would be used.

so I used to think that too and I'm happy to be corrected but I think no. The 4449 style is also what's on Jim's berk models.
I think the above is a laird style.

Re: L.E atlantic cross heads.

wonder if anyone has used a multiple bearing crosshead on a LE atlantic/pacific. I guess it'd shorten the combination lever unless you kept the drop link.
