What happens when someone wants to have multiple quantities of a part and has only one such master pattern to, uh, sacrifice?

Roger and others. the reason that i sent the contacts is so you can discover that all you need to do is send them the plastic parts out of a kit and they will send you back brass parts. The cost is not that great. (I will regret saying that) I have used the sprues in the PRS kits as the final master and cast them in brass. I've cast the doors and even cut the ends off of boxcars and cast them. The grey styrene and the brown styrene left little ash in the cavity when cast and is near impossible to see on the final part. In a wild fit of bizarreness one time I cast up an AM F unit nose. The idea was to make the rebuilt Milwaukee electric unit. it sort of worked but the AM styrene is different that the PRS styrene and left a lot of ash. that can be over come with a different technique but i lost interest in building the locomotive so it is all sitting. Bob Stevenson in Ames, IA. Is a guy to talk too.
