Who besides Yarmouth Makes a Carmer Lever Etching
|
After a private exchange with Pierre, it turns out none of the Carmer lever etchings he currently offers closely matches the Carmer levers as used on my ex D&RGW, Ex USN boxcar. Levers closely matching the ones I need were included with Westerfield's SP B-50-15 kit but a check of the Westerfield website does not show these offered as a separately available part. Does anyone have any other suggestions

Free State made the best etched Carmer levers - not simply blobby shapes.

You could etch them yourself. 😉 I'm not being facetious. I have used the MicroMark etching set with some success. The learning curve is not particularly steep... you just have to be a bit careful with the nasty chemicals. So far I have etch SUPPLEE MILK placard lettering for a reefer and decks for a PRR F34 flatcar. Bruce Smith

Hi Ken,
If you’re interested in the Westerfield Carmer levers, I’d contact Andrew
Dahm directly or through the Westerfield website. (http://westerfieldmodels.com/116601.html)
I’ve always found him both helpful and accommodating.
Pax,
Ralph
