Simpling Valve

A special section just for steam engines and boilers, as without these you may as well fit a sail.

Looks like the base is the full size of bar stock. What size is that please? The lathes are pretty busy right now but I would like to get some stock for when they're not. .
thanks

Wendell,

They are made from 1" bar 330 bronze. They are about 3.4" tall if I remember correctly.

The rails on the aftercabin - the stanchions were bought off of Ebay and then I fixed them up and ran a new piece of tubing through.

I attached the file if you want to use it. It is in .cad format
