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: NOW AVAILABLE D&RGW trucks for KOZO K-27
KOZO!
In an effort to upgrade our D&RGW freight trucks to complement the Kozo K-27, we are now going to be casting the wheels in ZA-12 for added 2-side detail. ZA-12 is an extremely durable and corrosion resistant alloy which should provide years of faithful service.
Seen here is the drag portion of the new sandcasting mold. Just a bit of gloss paint, and it will be ready for the sand. To streamline the process, we print our patterns with the gating and runners already in place. We use an exceptionally fine Petrobond sand in our foundry, so you know they'll be great.
The last image is special surprise, a complete K brake system to go along with the trucks will be ready for production very soon.
Stay tuned!
