          Try steamfittings or just about any of the ME suppliers eg. Blackgates, Bruce, GLR, Maidstone,Reeves, etc

          Flanges you will have to make yourself or go to one of the German suppliers but then they would be threaded to suit 3mm pipe, though not many TEs used flanged connections. Infact you could make all the fittings if you were so inclined.

            They are used on old (and very old) motorcars – for pressure gauge feeds, stuff like that. Try Paul Beck – start here:

              I generally tend to make most of my own boiler fittings & pumps etc. (being fiscally cautious by nature) but I do buy in nipples and union nuts, which are fiddly and time-consuming to make – and obviously the pipe and other raw materials. I've always used Bruce Engineering (now owned [?] by Polly Model Engineering). There's a very helpful Lady there who doesn't seem to mind taking my 'modest' orders on the phone and delivery has always been very prompt. Their copper washers are very handy to help seal such steam and water fittings btw.

              You can download a PDF catalogue (with prices) here – it's well worth a browse. You'll find 1/8th" pipe fittings there.

              I've no connection with Polly other than as a satisfied customer.
