Walther's was buying up small companies like that for a while so they may have them. As I recall, all of the parts were of low temp metal so I'd suspect that the molds may have been silicone ones which means a lot of hand work to make the parts.

Bob, You are probably correct. I'm assuming the molds were those big silicone wheels that were spun. What Rio Grande does to cast their parts. The parts were quite good and very clean. I was looking for a switch motor and notice that Bowser does it in their Selley line however Selley was famous for copying parts.
The Selley part is probably from the '50s and is probably oversized.
