Anthony, those are gorgeous! They reflect a lot of work and detail. I have an 18" gauge locomotive, about 4" to 5" scale, anything in the works for this size?

Thank you for the kind words, John! Countless hours have gone into these projects so far, but I've loved every minute of it. I have thought about making a few things for the grand scales. Can't make any promises just yet.

Anthony,
I have a few narrow gauge projects on the list and look forward to buying your injectors in the future.

I would like to give some feed back and make a suggestion. Would you please consider fabricating the injector body with 1/8 or 1/6 npt 5/16 mtpt thread connections to the body? This would allow a universal or compression coupling to be attached directly and easily.

I have removed all of the soldered connections on the plumbing and have made the transition to MTPT, NPT and compression fittings so that all plumbing on my engine is mechanical in nature. - similar to the prototype practice.

I am interested in your standard injector for 1.5 scale. Please notify me when you have some for sale and the operating pressure. My boiler pressure is 135. You can notify me at my email address tomstamey@sbcglobal.net

Steve,

Cones are machined from brass bar stock.
