I picked up a 4-4-0 Ives 1134 with the repro casting. Who made the castings? Just want to keep the info in my files if I ever sell it. It and the tender are nicely restored, but never got the markings. Anyone make decals for these. It’s painted the green for the Washington markings.
thanks

Check to see if a magnet will stick to your casting. If it won't, it could be a brass casting made by RichArt, like those pictured below.

I was talking to Hojack earlier and he suggested the Dick Mayer casting also. Just got home from my IVIG treatment and tested with a magnet. Engine is cast iron and the tender is tin. When visiting the Sirus collection he had 1134’s with repro iron castings.
