As has been noted a few times now, a fairly recent purchase was the Nieter molds. Pierre B. needed a new pilot for a Lionel Hudson project. As Temple Nieter left his last part cast in each mold, that last Nieter original was sent to Pierre but it seemed like a good time to try the molds out with Cerrobend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This photo shows the results. The mold on the left is the Nieter mold for the Lionel pilot, the second mold he made for this actually and I have both. It dates to the early 1970s and it worked great other than one of the divisions between one of the boiler tubes in the pilot let go, so I have to use these with care. A part I cast in this mold is in the photo with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mold on the right is a mold I made of a different molding material in the early 1980s, and the castings with it are a pair of castings from this mold, reproduction Eastern\/Famoco boxcar doors. I have seen these same parts on eBay recently actually, and the ones for sale look to be Nieter copies cast in a mold I also have in the collection. My doors came out well in the old mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have yet to fully inventory what I have of the Nieter molds, but after I get cleaned up with taxes and such I will be posting about them more. Most of them are certainly still usable, and between molds I made and molds from Nieter I have usable molds for over 100 OO parts. If you have any specific needs such as Pierre had I may be able to help you out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
