Callahan cam stopper castings and plans
« on: March 26, 2017, 12:10:35 AM »
I am seeking a set of castings and plans for a scale model Callahan cam stopper engine. I have tried to contact Cooper Tools by phone and email with no result. Can anyone tell me if they are still in business or is there another source of supply for this engine. Would be interested in purchasing a set that may no longer be required.
Thanks
Graeme

You will probably get a more upto date reply on the situation if you ask in the model section of SmokStak forum

Harry Cooper passed away the middle of last year. Don't know if his wife or son are continuing the business. You will have to call to find out.

It saddens me greatly to learn of of Harry's passing. He was a great engine modeler. In addition to that he provided several really interesting designs to the hobby in the form of casting kits, for a good many years. At
one time I had one of his "Gray" engines, and sadly let it be sold. I still have one of his kits under my bench, and will treasure it. Sorry to see you pass, Harry, I hope all your models live on in your memory.
