My son bought a model steam engine that was unfortunately incomplete. The safety valve I made for it is a copy from Wilesco except for the 6x0.75 fine thread where it screws onto the boiler. Wilesco have M6 standard thread. The next photo is the piston assembly I made that works for his machine, perhaps it will help a father on a similar mission for his son.

The chimney is not original made from a length of 15mm central heating pipe.

Caught this puppy in Stoford as i came round a corner.

Tornado is the first steam engine of its kind to be newly built in England since the 1960s. I have recently travelled on a train pulled by this amazing engine at a steam gala, and it was a fantastic experience! I thought the picture would make the perfect background for a birthday card aimed at men, with a quilled birthday candle in metallic gun-metal grey to match.
