Anyone know where I can find plans for a steam valve to turn my little engine on and off with?

Tubal Cain shows one in "Building simple model steam engines" part 1 and Stan Bray likewise in "Making simple model steam engines". Searching for regulator in the magazine indices might be fruitful.

Hi Wolfie

Maybe this link is helpful? It is for a locomotive but I guess it might work for your engine.

Hi Wolfie

My artical in the mag on the Simpson and Shipton will have a drawing of a steam valve it will be towards the end of the build.

Hi Wolfie,

The Stan Bray version is quite simple and is a proper regulator. If you would like a copy of the detail drawing PM me. Here is the G.A.

Best regards

The little taps that I have made have been ones with a tapered plug, with a transverse hole, I'v never drawn one, I just build it. I make a reamer at the same setting as I turn the plug. Ian S C
