Airtek P.O. Box 466 Irwin, Pennsylvania 15642 Phone: 724-863-1350/412-351-3837 is a source that I often use. Most common and some not so common sizes are available from them. David Farlow Whitewater Valley RR http://www.airtek-inc.com/railroad/railroad.html hudson.industries@att.net |

I've got some leftover odds and ends, but primarily street railway stuff. What are you trying to shoe? tnold@northtexastransport.org |

Try: Western Foundries ,Inc. P.O. Box 599 Longmont , CO 80501 1-800-348 -1825 They have done shoes for a couple of steam programs including the source which had the special order for the high temp synthetic valve oil produced last year which I sent to you. They can reverse engineer them if you don't have drawings and you can produce a reasonable example to work from. Cheaper if you have drawings but still some coinage , but isn't eveything for a steam locomotive. S. A Worthington |

> Looking for sources for cast iron shoes and > someone who casts brake shoes. Try JMA Distribution Company, P.O. Box 1222, 925 Shields Ave, Seymour, IN 47274. Tel 1-812-522-7200 Local office (to us) P.O. Box 1137, Wheaton, IL 60187. Tel 1-630-653-9224 Susan Janczewski They have been a good source for us for the garden variety AAR1B-C12 shoes. I believe the foundry doing the casting is somewhere in the Baltimore area, but they are warehoused and shipped from Seymour. Bob Kutella 68trolley@comcast.net |

Here on the Fort Collins Municipal Railway, we made our own patterns and had Urich Locomotive Works in Strasburg, Colorado, cast them for us. We even supplied the Fort Smith line with brake shoes for their Birney. Roger Mitchell Master Mechanic Fort Collins Municipal Railway n0mcr@netzero.net |
