Where can a modeler purchase small scale pipe fittings and unions. 1/8"-3/16" sizes.
Has anyone taken over Coles or American Model?

American Model is still in operation under new ownership. Wayne Godshall in Pennsylvania has taken it over.

Re: small scall fittings
Eccentric Engineer makes some great ones. But only down to 3/16" I will be in the market for some 1/8" and 5/32" fittings myself. Maybe we can get Anthony to do the smaller ones at some point. He is making the 2/3rds size injector for the 1" scale locomotives.jeffsmith wrote:Where can a modeler purchase small scale pipe fittings and unions. 1/8"-3/16" sizes.

Re: small scall fittings
PM Research has 3/16. Otherwise, you might have to go to the UK for smaller ones. Steamfittings.co.uk has a few in 1/8 and 5/32 for instance, and there are probably other suppliers as well.

Jeff, as mentioned before, Eccentric Engineer makes fittings down to 3/16, Live Steam Warehouse makes fittings 1/16 thru 5/16. I have seen both manufacturers fittings in person. They are of very good quality and appearance. American Model Engineering advertises MTP unions in their catalog. Attached are their web links below.

I do plan on adding 1/8" fittings to the line next time I send off waxes. The next round of castings will also include reducing elbows and reducing couplings.
Estimating February at the moment.
