Dear all,

I would like to cast the cylinders for my 5″ gauge pacific, however I dont want to pay 20 quid a kilo for the bronze from an ME supply company-does anyone know where I might source some suitable bronze?Maybe a scrapyard is best, but what should I ask for? Car big-end bearings? “your finest lead-bearing SAE 660 bronze please”?!

Thanks,

Stuart
