645 forum posts 33 photos	Can anyone help me? I am designing a machine (if I can get the metal). It is a sort of shaper. My problem is that the machine I want is quite small, but if I am making it and writing it up for others I may as well make it a bit larger so that others will also find it useful. What I want to know is how large would the casting be for the inside cylinders of a 5” gauge loco? Rgds Dick Parsons
