674 forum posts 357 photos	Thanks Jason Just checked it out it always amazes me at the cost of castings, I try to avoid their use where I can. I'd like to do a similar build but using corless valves but havn't yet figured out how to model them in a suitable scale. Cheers Stew

The guy I got my Superba ploughing engine castings from at a very good price also had a set of castings for this engine, PM me if you want his details though they may have gone by now. J
