[Steam-engine] Repro Castings

[Andy glines]

I was planning on contacting Cattail Foundry simply
because of an enthusiastic recommendation that I got
from an engine collector who has been involved with
many restorations.  I will try to snap a couple of
pics tonight but I might have trouble finding a place
to post them.  Looks like I need to start a web page. 
The pieces will fit in your hand they are fancy pipe
caps for 2" pipe and are part of the fancy cushion
drive found on older Hubers.  I also need to borrow a
firebox door and have one reproduced.  What kind of
shrinkage rates are we talking about?
