 What are you guys using for a throttle on the 3/4 inch scale steamers? I am building a Little Engines 3 1/2 inch gage 3/4 inch scale 4-8-4 and they call for an external throttle valve I don't like how that looks, Kozo's design I feel is better, but I would like to go with an internal throttle like the prototypes used. Just looking for some advice before I have the boiler built, thanks, Zach

Zach, I just ordered some small ball valves for another project and thought about your post. You did not mention the steam pipe size but here is a link to some small ball valves that might work for your project. www.americanmodeleng.com/id31.htmlCheers Dan |
