Many years ago I was given these two characters...........having seen what goes on on MEM I think there may be an engine wanting to get out of them as soon as my traction engines are finished.......what do you think?

I'd be a bit wary of the one on the one on th eright looks like it may have been poured in a couple of goes so could be a couple of fault lines through it.

But you could carve a good size aero engine crankcase or three out of them

Stuart.........I think one of those would be a severe shock to the system following my present lumps of iron

Jason............You are right about the right hand one , it looks as though it has cooled during pouring, They are both marked " ZE10" whatever that is,

Thanks for the warning Gentlemen, I shall probably try and find someone who could use them and move them on. Terry
