Steam Engine cylinder casting and valves

[@cjezzerc]

Great video. Was wondering where the cylinder drain was and this showed it really nicely. Also the way this showed how the slide valve linked the cylinder to the exhaust was much better than any diagram or animation. Thank you.

Not sure what the porting is like inside the cylinder cast, but if it's just mismatched inlet/outlets, couldn't you grind and weld to reshape them? And possibly sand cast just the slide valve with a different geometry?

That casting seems small for a railroad locomotive. Was it designed for a Maine 2 footer or an amusement park locomotive? Where did you find it and was any additional. Items collected? I have enjoyed your Stean-up for several years. Thank you.

Hi Greg, Thank you for your comments. Yes, this was for a live steam scale model as you are thinking, not a full-scale locomotive.
