Hi,
I am building a 1949 Varney Dockside. I have found the castings to be very brittle. With 2 breakages so far. One on the cylinder and one on the frame. The cylinder was not such a big deal and I epoxied it. The one on the frame is the problem as the break in at the rear axel. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to repair the casting? I have been building loco's for a while now and this is my first problem like this. Any help would be appreciated.
