Castings and other parts
Harrye Frowen advised that wheel castings for a 7.25″ ‘Lion’ were available through him.
“After searching the web site I failed to find any information on finding out where we can obtain wheel castings for 7.25 gauge Lion. As I now have the wheel patterns for the 7.25 gauge lion and have a foundry prepared to cast for us , you may wish to add this information to your site.”
I understand the following items are available.
Cylinder covers.
Steam chest.
Front boiler saddle.
rear boiler brackets.
Eccentric straps.
Rocking shafts(lost wax castings).
