D&M Model Engineering

[Ironman]

Since you fellows were so helpful with my request for information on obtaining drawings for the Breisch scale model of an Associated engine that I inherited from my wife's grandfather's estate, I thought I would put out another request on this board. Several years back, I purchased some shop equipment and a model steam engine casting kit from a fellow. All of the kit parts were present, but he said that the plans were somewhere in the house and he would need to look for them sometime. Knowing that it would be a while before I would begin working on the kit, I wasn't too worried about not getting the plans for the engine that day. Soon afterward, I lost contact with him as he had moved away to a different state. One of the large castings has D-M cast into it. After doing some extensive research, I have found that it is a casting kit as sold by D&M Model Engineering which was located in Western Springs, Illinois. Do any of you fellows know if the company still exists and, if so, can you provide me with contact information for the company? I'm sure that I could build the steam model rather easily as it is much simpler than a gas engine kit and I've worked on steam models before, but it would sure be nice to get plans if at all possible. This is a rather large model, with the flywheel being 12" in diameter. A few years ago, someone sold a model dynamo kit on Ebay which was also a kit from D&M. I sure would like to find one of those kits to go with my engine!!!
