William C. Fitt wrote the following about Walt in Modeltec Magazine, August 1986:
- The late Walter H. Allen started the Pattern Pool many years ago. He collected patterns from the Live Steamers who had obtained the castings they needed and had no further use for them. He warehoused, cataloged and loaned them to anyone with access to a foundry or, if casting service was unavailable, Walt took them to a local foundry for castings and shipped them to the hobbyist.
Rutland F-2j
Walter offered drawings in 1.5 inch scale for the Rutland F-2J 4-6-0. He placed advertisements in Live Steam Magazine in 1975.
