WTB RRSCo. 0-4-0 Drivers
Hi all,
I'm trying to find anyone with some spare Railroad Supply Co. 0-4-0 drivers. I need four of the heavy ones with the larger counterweight.
Yes, I know RRSCo. is in business. I've been in contact with them for over two months, and haven't even gotten a price or availability out of them, and lately cannot get a response at all. Such a shame as I'll be passing through the new England area soon, and was hoping I might be able to get them from RRSCo. and save on shipping. I'll keep trying but if I can't get them from the source itself, I'll have to try getting them elsewhere. Thanks!

Didn't someone carry on the Mercer 0-4-0 castings from Dave? I wonder if those would be the same diameter. I think the LE 0-4-0 are 7 inches, but on a 0-4-0 this shouldn't make a difference. Roger goldmann also sells 7 inch 0-6-0 drivers

I'd really prefer the RRSCo. drivers, they're the exact diameter and profile I need, number of spokes, ect. They match up almost perfectly with the prototype I'm modeling.

What do they look like?I have non-machined 4 drivers that measure aprox. 7.688".
What were they originally for?
Are you wanting to get rid of them?
Re: WTB RRSCo. 0-4-0 Drivers
Were you able to get in touch with RRSC?
Re: WTB RRSCo. 0-4-0 Drivers
Yes, a very last minute call back from them and the details were worked out. I was able to pick them up and get a short tour of the shop the morning I had to leave New Hampshire.

Re: WTB RRSCo. 0-4-0 Drivers
Help please?
After having paid in full and too long of a wait (over 20 years!) for a fully machined set of Roger Goldmann's USRA Heavy Pacific cylinders, Roger's pattern maker (acting on my behalf) managed to obtain a rough cylinder casting and some but not all of the necessary parts for completion,
---BUT NO DRAWINGS!
Is there anyone on here who has the dimensions for Roger's Pacific cylinders. please?
THANK YOU!
Paul

If anyone else is looking for out-of-production or never-been-produced driver patterns, I've got a lot of experience creating them. If you can think of it, I've probably done it.

A little locomotive with 4 wheels on the track is a lot more fun
than a 1/2 finished one with 16 wheels on the bench!

Re: WTB RRSCo. 0-4-0 Drivers
curious what the typical price is of like a 7 inch drive wheel chris? This is for a 3d print, or the actual wood pattern for sand casting?
