Wehog Eagle

I spent some time at a mold casting company here in Tulsa.I showed engineering in the tool&die shop a Wehog eagle,ask them how it was made.

They said it was made with a two piece steel mold.The cavity (front side of the eagle) was fill with the Gal Mg Si.They then place the back side on and squeeze together under pressure.

Today the cost of making one mold would be about $25000 and you could kick out about 40 eagles a day.But out of that 40 you would end up with about 35, OC has rejected 5 of them ( poor quantity )

Maybe the Wehog we see today are rejects from the past but still original ?

Anyone that is interested w/Rail Eagle needs to get J.R. Reference Book.
