Re: graham central railroad
I think they had an exhibitor table at the Amherst large scale train show in Springfield last April 2023. Seemed like a nice place to visit.

Thanks.

Re: Looking for bronze 1/4" ID washers
Perhaps. I have more money than machine time at the moment, but wanted to save some money from buying an entire box.

Re: Snifter valves and cylinder lubricator hardware vendors?
Thanks. I will give Jeff at Locoparts a call. I didn't see them on his website but I was looking under "fittings". I should have scrolled down on the lubricator page.

Snifter valves and cylinder lubricator hardware vendors?
My Sweet William engine needs some form of cylinder lubrication, and I ordered a lubricating pump from LocoParts. However, the steam chests need some fittings to allow the oil to get into the cylinders. I own Allen Mogul plans and since my Sweet William cylinders are about the same size I thought I ...
