Stirling Single Metal Rods for Emily Conversion

Marty T. made these metal rods for my Stirling Single conversion of Bachman’s Emily. He made a spin cast machine(talented guy!) and is developing it as a kit to sell. He is still working out a couple of details. He wanted to get an idea of what interest there is for it. The parts are Left and Right sides to get the details in the right place. Pieces are cast from Pewter. He drills/taps the ends to bolt to the brace, which is bolted to the locomotive. The ends he cuts with a fine saw and once inserted, the folds the pieces back. The video will be at the bottom, under the photos. Not sure I know how to post it right, so maybe someone can fix that.

Ready to run.

Parts are well made in the spin casting process. Note also the boiler front handle.

Lower view showing how the parts are installed. Full directions will be written up.

Jerry,

Please tell Marty T. that I would like a set. Also if he has a correct boiler front (one that fits) I need that also.

Thanks friend

Noel

Noel, will do. Those plastic pieces a guy was selling fit fine on the front, also has the bolt heads for the cylinders and the slots in the wheels. Back a ways in this forum I think.
