With an eye to low costs and fabricated construction I am looking at Anthony Mount's "Farcot Table Engine"
castings are available from Blackgates but as you say a more costly option.

Engineer's Emporium have some of Kornmuller's historical models as well as the (expensive) DH Gypsy Major and a number of Hit and Miss Models.Jo
Jo, I recognise that your knowledge of castings and what is available is encyclopedic. At present Engineer's Emporium do not advertise the DH Gypsy Major. Are they holding back castings? Also, are castings available elsewhere and would they cost an awful lot of money (what ever that may be)?
EDIT I've just gone through the drawing and to buy materials using M-machine pricelist, 300mm for small sections, per 25mm for larger would be approx £160, add in the RDG flywheel SCC already has and some fixings gives approx £200, as some of those materials and fixings would have to have been bought to go with the Blackgates castings then outlay is in the region of ONE THIRD
