7 forum posts 4 photos	Good morning all. I'm on a quest to find a supplier of 4 1/2 inch Allchin castings. I have spoken to Paul Wainwright and I understand he is not really doing much with the models anymore, since the full sized engines are taking up the majority of his time. Does anybody know of any other suppliers of castings for this beautiful engine (John Rex only lists 3" castings) and if not, does anyone know a rough pricing for cast iron casting per weight for me to make a couple patterns and find a foundry? (I have emailed my local [Bridport] foundry but no response after a month) Incidentally I only really need the following if anyone knows of anyone looking to shift old stock: Cylinder block Flywheel Compensating centre trunk guide Brake drum Rear wheel hubs Many thanks, Pete
