Looking for a distributor jet casting. Has anyone had a new one cast or know of a pattern that has survived? The K4s jet plate has seen much better days. Ours is of the 2 piece variety, i.e. the actual jet casting and the jet support casting. Thanks for any leads.Mike Tillger |

Mike,We were faced with the same dilema with 611/1218, castings were certainly not inexpensive as you can imagine, and we found/swapped out a jet block. We had N&W drawings for the HT jet block, purchased from Mark Faville in Roanoke. I believe Mr Faville past away years ago??, so I do not know where the N&W drawings went. It has been speculated the VTM has aquired the collection, so I would start there. P.S. I'm sending Chris other stoker drawings this AM.Bob |

The N&W Historical Society has the Faville drawings. Contact them at info@nwhs.org . To my knowledge, VMT is not actively engaging in archival preservation at this time and their materials are in storage. They seem to be changing their focus to highways and automobiles. |

Mike,You could try Multipower International, the folks that import Chinese steam locomotives and parts. They have a page for "HT-1 type" stokers and parts. They also say they can provide custom parts to order; they may be able to provide a workable replacement.http://www.multipowerinternational.com/stoker.html |
