backhead fittings for Gresley A1/3
Posted: Thu Apr 09, 2015 7:26 pm
evening all
can anyone help with identifying the various boiler fittings as seen on the Gresley pacific's...as some of you will know I'm in the middle of building a fine scale live steam model in 5" gauge, or 11.3 to 1.
I need to find full size drawings of all of the fittings but to help me i also need to know the type of fittings by name and possibly model number. I would be most grateful if somene can help me with this, full name of the items to start but if anyone also has drawings or knows where I can find them ( i am aware of NRM but would need to know what i'm looking for first) this would help me greatly. I also need details of injectors used, all types...
I'm building as they were in the late 30's although I doubt that they changed much during their careers.
many thanks
Pete
