Live steam 1 1/2\" scale dummy coupler patterns - group lot + extra pattern bonus:
$765.00

Listing includes an original RRSC master pattern and the original RRSC duplication molds to make a 1 1/2\" scale dummy coupler. PART# A-1025-2 See Railroad Supply Corporation, burbank catalog#9 on page E-10. This item is in the main photo.
Also includes an original master duplication mold to make a 1 1/2\" scale front coupler pocket from the old RRSC burbank see catalog#9 on page E-10. Pour special liquid plastic into mold, let harden, and pop out of the mold to create a patternthat mounts to wood board. Put 10 to 12 of these on a board and that is how a sand pattern is made to produce castings at foundry. This item is in the second photo.
Bonus item included shown in photo #3 & #4....Power Models coupler patterns and pattern duplication boxes. This design appears to be 2 1/2\" scale size coupler or a very large 1 1/2\" scale coupler for narrow gauge. Front mounting face plate pattern included (unknown if it is related to this). The patterns are partially completed, just needs the core box finished for the inside pocket of the coupler/knuckle fit. Power models had a tragic fireworks accident, that is why there is some fire/smoke damage with the patterns. The damage appears to be external to the outside boxes only. A lot of the patterns for Power models were sold off in an sale on years ago. So if you were one of the buyers of the Power Models items, there is a good chance that you might have the missing core box to this coupler set. The second photo will kinda show what the missing core box would look like. The boxes with the reverse imprint is to make mulitiple duplications of patterns for mounting to a sand type pattern board. One side of split coupler pattern has it\'s duplication box missing. That duplication box can be made by just using the existing pattern and make a reverse imprint from it. With a little bit of time, and reverse engineering of the knuckle, the missing core box should be fairly simple to figure out. Once you figure out the core box, just mount the patterns to a board, you will have a great little 2 1/2\" scale coupler ready forproduction at the foundry. Great head start on a 2 1/2\" coupler if you were planning on making them. Just having these to work from with would save you countless hours of labor and designing.
Hurry and buy these before your competitor does. Even if you don\'t do anything with these, better buy these so it helps keep it out of the hands of a potential competitor.
What you see in photos is what you get (except the tape measure). Everything in photos is sold As-Is. Ships out USPS large priority box.
