General Discussion / Re: Reproduction Builder/Number Plates - Materials, etc.
« on: November 17, 2014, 07:45:46 PM »
Over the winter I will be casting several plates in brass/bronze for locomotives. A set of Baldwin builders plates and number plate and a Porter builders plate and number plate. I do all the work myself, from making the molds to melting and pouring. I am sure that we could cast additional plates at reasonable cost if you have a good pattern to work from.
The Baldwin builders plate will be 3D printed, while the Porter builders plate will be cast off of a repro plate that has had the numbers changed. We have the ability in house to design new plates and to have the patterns 3D printed.
