He does. He offers castings and and also builds whole engines.

how long would it take to steam the engines so you can run them?

[losangelesboys]

how much do they cost and do you need to assemble them ?

[tweetsie12190]

ah comon why arent they coal fired

[CaptainHarlock999]

Prototype West Side Shays were oil fired. California had a bounty of oil and no coal deposites. Coal was used on the East Coast and parts of the mid-west were coal deposites were readily available. Also, coal embers are more likely to spark forest fires.
