[modeleng] Re: Juliet's

G'Day Alan,

The angle iron buffers is as LBSC originally designed it. They were 
originally brazed onto the side sheets. I don't like that, so I'll bolt them 
with angle brackets.

I was lucky I was sitting down when I went to the AJ Reeves site and looked 
at thier prices for cylinder sets.... 177 pounds for 1 cylinder set!!!!! 
Just ONE cylinder set. They have just lost my business...... What a mob of 
thieves!!!!!!!!!!
I hate patternmaking!!!! Oh well, looks like there is no choice now. Unless 
I can find someone that has some patterns that they wouldn't mind lending 
me...... They would be rare these days.

TEL, didn't you make a Juliet? Where did you get your castings from?

Maybe I should concentrate on building a oil fired (I don't know if LPG 
would be hot enough) furnass first....... There's no shortage of good 
quality green sand around here......
Anyone got any drawings for one? I had better get started, otherwise 
disapointment awaits the delayed start on the project.


Cheers,

Phill.
