I need a cast iron sand dome cover to fit a 1904 0-4-0 Porter locomotive with a 19 inch diameter sand dome.
I'd prefer to get an original cover rather than having one recast.
Does anyone know where I might obtain an original cover?

Regards...

I do not know if any of the new old stock castings were salvaged in the demolition of Glover Machine Works, but if so, there were a few in about that size left in the old foundry. The patterns had unfortunately been left in a leaky old pole building full of termites, and were in pretty bad shape.

I don't know where any unused originals from Porter might be found.

You may try spinning a new one over a form to save the cost of making a pattern for a one-off.
