2.5" Scale Safety Valves

Post by Tank Creek »

About 6 weeks back I asked the group about the leaky safeties on my 2.5" scale locomotive and posted a photo of them. The general response was they looked like old Railroad Supply items and one recommendation was to replace them with ones the "Trainman" offers. I've searched on line and can't find a listing for the "Trainman." Can you guys help guide me to his site?

Thanks, Dick Patton

I spoke with him at the Ridge meet during February, and he is indeed looking at property down there. So, is probably temporarily preoccupied with that.
