Jedrig lubricator drain valve lever

Post by tom_tom_go » Tue Mar 17, 2015 9:08 pm

In the latest SMT (152) John Sutton books & models advertises a 'Jedrig'. Does anyone know who makes the lubricator drain valves please?

That's a standard cylinder drain cok - I've got a pair on my Baldrig! Matt (Berry Hill Works) will know where they came from..............

I think mine were UK sourced................

(though it's interesting to see they're available as a "screw on goody")

Was comparing notes with a fellow Edrig owner at our running day last Sunday.

As per the Accucraft instructions he opens the water level check valve, fills the boiler till water comes out that valve, then waits for only steam to come out of that valve after lighting up. However due to the track layout the water level check valve was on the far side of his locomotive with limited access so he ended up fully unscrewing the valve rather than closing it!

Presumably the lubricator drain valve is indeed that Accucraft one as the Jedrig is being made by Accucraft for John Sutton.
