Take a look at www.locoparts.biz. Locoparts has all kinds of boiler checks and 1-1/2" check valves. Highest quality.

I am surprised that no one mentioned this, but if you want the ultimate guide and info on building a D&RGW stock car, there is a book called "Taking StocK". They are pricey (I paid $75 for mine) and the only place I could find it was at the Colo RR museum. That was several years ago, s...
