Hello All!
I am a volunteer at Prairie Village SD and today I am writing on behalf of the restoration project we have in progress for our Lima 0-6-0 #29. See: www.prairievillage.org/old-29/
We have replaced a large number of grates in the firebox and need more. The replacements we had were made about 15 years ago and we need to find a foundry to cast another batch.
Replacing grates has to be a common issue for anyone still burning coal in their locomotives and this seemed to be a good forum to make contact with other steam locomotive operators.
Are there any recommendations for a foundry that people have worked with on steam related projects?
