We spent what seemed an awful long time checking over all the patterns and, when that was completed, we began contacting foundries to provide our castings. A more frustrating experience I have never experienced! Each contact brought another defeat with "Sorry," "Too busy now," "Couldn't possibly add them to our production," or "Your run is too small." Finally, after combing a five-state area, we found a foundry hundreds of miles away that agreed to do the work. They have firm delivery dates and promised price quotations shortly. We placed an ad in [[Live Steam Magazine]] which gave a two-month period in which our stock was to be delivered and began to wait. No price quotation was ever made and, after the promised delivery passed ~~wee~~ were told that they couldn't handle our comparatively small order! So we began again. We have finally located a satisfactory source and have taken delivery of our first shipment at a price we feel is satisfactory. We hope this will prove to be a reliable and trusted source.		: When illness forced [[Lee Stephens]] to give up his Live Steam line, we purchased the patterns with every hope that we would be able to continue the attractive price structure he had developed for the 1-1/2 inch scale Southern Ps-4.
