Hi , my name is Matt, I live in Australia and am new to this hobby , I’m have just started to build a 2 inch Minnie. I’m finding it difficult to source castings for this model. Is there any suggestions as to where I might obtain them ? Or should I look at maching all the parts ?

Blackgates do the castings for the 2" Minnie. But given your location and likely postage costs I would seriously think about just using the cylinder and flywheel castings and making the rest from solid.

E-mail them for a price list as they are updating the one on the site.
