Hi,
This photo is of my archbar sideframe pattern and a partially machined casting made from it.
This second photo shows the Bettendorf pattern on top and the partial Andrews pattern below. All that needs to be done to complete the Andrews is to add the journal box and the lower tie.
I also have the patterns for the journal box covers made. I will need to make a Bolster pattern for the Bettendorf and Andrews side frames. The archbar uses a piece of 2"x0.5" channel steel. However the Bettendorf and Andrews would require a non-standard size of steel (If I recall correctly, it would have to be 2.5"x0.5" channel).
I was considering making a pattern for the EBT Vulcan trucks but I have yet to decide to make them.
FYI.
