    Does anyone know of detail part supplier, offering a quality air reservoir casting for use on freight cars?

    I had enquired about parts from Intermountain in the part. They will sell all their kit parts at US$0.50 a sprue. I'm certain there's something amongst their stock lines that's suitable.

    Top sprue from the clyindrical hopper kit, the lower from the PS2-CD hopper kit.

    If there's one part that can always be seen underneath a freight car, it's sure the air reservoir!

    Robert-

    You may end up with a business between cabooses and detail parts! There is a need for the caboose smoke jacks, and......

    Watash- Does this fellow have a regular model RRing manufacturing business? A web site?

    Gats- Yes. Those are the items. I don't really need much other detail. Just the tank itself. I thought I might have something in my parts bin. Having built a bunch of IM kits. But so far I haven't found one. :(

    :D

    Yes, he makes cast metal parts, and does etched metal details. Contact him at the email I posted above.
