Let's try & answer a few questions
perhaps, someone with an infinite knowledge of the ace bolsters, could clarify a few points, originally the ace bolster was a metal product? Yes the most popular were for easily converting AF to scale use. They were cast white metal. There was 1 or so for wood floor use. then it was switched to a urethane product?, Yes, Russ had some new masters made for A F cars not previously covered. For quite a while Russ was doing his own urethane casting. These bolsters were some of those items. and then finally at the end, it allegedly was switched back to a metal product? 99% sure this is not true so who has the molds now, and how do we contact them? If anyone would have the masters/molds it would be Iron Rail Greg. If he does not have them I would guess they are lost. As long as S dealers still have new old stock I don't see why there would be a need to made new. I also don't see at least on this list much converting A F to scale now with all of the great plastic cars out. However, is if someone is so motivated these bolsters would be very easy to make in Solidworks.
