here's the tipper I successfully cast; made to look beaten up; a real workhorse;
here's a tipper I just finished casting, paint still wet; it's 100% cast incl wheels. in the 2nd photo, even the rail is cast; that shot contains code 215 as an experiment in casting.

2nd tipper casting (squish casting, not mixed enough) went bad (1st squish went great); holes in bottom where too thin; instead of heaving it, I staged a crash off a trestle, where it now is a sedum planter (took picture as installed and watered it).
I’ve had lots of luck with sedums sprouting on their own from clippings in very little earth so I’m optimistic
Did metal casting and other castings today; still working
need a prototype photo?
