please Can anyone help me i have some cylinder relief valves for my 5″ gauge loco jubilee, The plans show them, but it is not clear how they are fitted, so i am not sure wether they are drilled or solderd to the cylinder end plates or even if they should actually work. Thanks for any help Rob.

Hi Rob, They would normally be screwed into tapped holes. If the loco has piston valves then working releif valves are a good idea, they help prevent damage if water gets carrried over.

regards

John
