Awesome work.  That casting is spot on.  I can't wait to see the frames when they are cast in copper!

You never disappoint, Jason. Amazing craftsmanship on your part. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning to arrive. I'm still in line for two frame kits - name your price!

Yea, anything Jason does is impressive and the speed with which he does it is beyond my comprehension, but again, it's not like he has a business to run and a house and wife and a bunch of little kids to take care of...but wait, he does  :o
Well, I'm off to the train room to ponder which project I should think about planning to undertake someday.... :facepalm:

Thanks guys,

Otto... You are funny, but most of us truly admire your work.

Loren..... Same cost you have always had  $ .    Without your contribution non of this could be done.

Update:
Urethane casting were shipped out today.  I should get 4 brass frames back in a few weeks.  Along with a test ATSF northern pilot and Mt4/F class pilot..... In brass.  Until then I will keep the fingers crossed.

Great!  I can't wait to see the frames.  Now I just need to get my hands on some extra Mikado drivers and valve gear!
