HI

im looking for someone to custom build a 2 truck between 16-18 tons,
i was going to build the model myself with my dad but dont have the time.
i have plenty of photgraphs an pics of the loco. plus i can measure the
loco to.i was trying to get arglye to build it but he is retiring an i dont
know many other custom live steam builders.if anyone knows a person that
would build the loco or maybe a cataonk heisler conversion would be possiable.
please let me know.


sincerely

Harry Wade might, or Charlie Mynehir(sp?). Norm Saley might also. I think Catatonk made one a few years back(see Steam in the Garden website and email Ron Brown). Jerry

Casey,
Catatonk did make a Heisler, check it out here:
http://www.steamup.com/sitgonline/tradeshow/catatonk/catatonk.html

Ron's email is on there also, might drop him a line and see if they have any left, or if he knows of a customer that wants to sell his.

going to try an talk to mike chaney that is the machinst i think for catatonk loco works
an see if he would do a custom heisler for me.theres only 14 i think from catatonk so
i dont think many come up for sale.


also would you have a email for some of those builders.

Mike Chaney is not the 'machinist' for Catatonk Locomotive Works, Mike Chaney IS Catatonk Locomotive Works, and has now, I am reliably informed, retired.

Many of the custom builders over here in UK confine their efforts to UK prototypes, but Peter Angus is a name that crops up from time to time where one-off 'odd-ball' models are concerned. His work [and I've seen a lot of it] is of the highest standard - he specialises in articulated locomotives, BTW - but he is VERY hard to contact.

Like many of his ilk, he is a slow deliverer, but worth it in the end. On the other paw, you sound as though you want the loco next week.

That, Sir, just ain't gonna happen.

Casey, What are your drawings like?, Would you be prepared to
except a Boiler Certified in Western Australia?, You are looking
at 12 to 15 Months if we had a tailwind!.
What Steam Pessure did you require?.

Just thinking,
John.

Yessir, Mike chaney IS retired, as I said in my post up the page. Since he only lives about forty miles from me I called him up about two years ago, and those were his first words to me.
