gwr safety valve for sale

Here we have a 5" gauge GWR Manor built to the published "Torquay Manor" design by Martin Evans.  This is a brand new loco, only having been test steamed on what seems to be one occasion.  It"s ostensibly fully finished, although there is no safety valve bonnet or name and number plates, so there"s a little room there for personalisation, which we would be more than happy to look at doing for you if you"d like the loco.

Our model offers strength and simplicity and we hope it will become the benchmark for starter locos in 1:32 scale in much the same way as ‘Ragleth’ and its predecessors have in 1:19 scale. The loco is internally gas fired with a centre flue boiler, opening smokebox door and has un-insulated wheels as standard. The axles run in bronze bearings and all the rods and valve gear are manufactured from stainless steel. The cab roof flips up and over sideways to give access to the gas, water and lubricator fillers. The boiler is fitted with a water level check valve, a removable dome to allow the fitting of a Goodall valve and the displacement lubricator has an under floor drain valve. The coal in the bunker can be lifted out to give access for radio control fitting. The model is built from stainless steel and brass, and with the correct maintenance, will give a lifetime of pleasure. It is offered in three variations, black with twin safety valves or in ‘Swindon’ condition GWR green or black with a safety valve bonnet.

A safety valve is a valve mechanism for the automatic release of steam from the boiler of a steam locomotive, which helps prevent from a steam locomotive from exploding.

Safety valves were first used on steam locomotives during the industrial revolution in the late-1800"s. Early boilers without them were prone to accidental explosion.

Vacuum safety valves (or combined pressure/vacuum safety valves) are used to prevent a tank from collapsing while emptying it or when cold rinse water is used after hot water.

The calculation method is not defined in any normal temperature when sizing a vacuum safety valve, particularly in the hot/cold water scenario, but some manufacturers have developed simulations to do so.
