| Assuming you mean Athearn smoke jacks? Haven't been here long enough to know who'd say that. I can use like 15 of them though. Any luck in casting them from lead? I fell like that'd be easy enough with all these fish weights my dad never uses.

I can cast them if needed.... specially if your looking for a specific type of smoke jack....
But when needed the plain ole type, the Kadee sprue works GREAT with alittle mold deflashing with a #11 blade being scraped down the seam of the sprue...
