Does anyone know where I can get miniature swivel steam couplings ?

I have a requirement to have model boiler pressure steam sent across a slightly moving gap .

Charles ,

Thanks for the reply , that looks rather neat . Are they available commercially?

I like the look of the loco they’re fitted to . What’s the working pressure of the flexi hose that appears on the adjacent shots ?

Those fitting open up a whole new ball game .

That unit was developed for a cab forward. Each is custom made to order nothing on the shelf. Let us know if we can assist.

Jason , I should have studied your site a bit more closely , I was too focussed on the 7/8 logging disconnects you’re sending (I am limited to one thought at a time , being a bit senior).

So I shall go back to your site and may well ask you to add some toobing and clamps to experiment with .
