Wow fantastic. So did you make a longer banjo bolt?

Finally another 16mm loco with a mash can...
Nice to see those little details. I make a few bits and bobs from fimo but a little tea brewer is essential! I too am interested in how you engineered the metric regner whistle valve onto the imperial roundhouse loco...

Oh I see it now, was getting confused with the safety valve behind it in the photo. Good idea, will have to try that when I get a replacement valve for my whistle kit, I don't fancy fitting it to the Willi now as there's no ideal place to fit the valve to.

the clue is in the connection with the whistle....
at the banjo end it is simple.....soldered straight in.
look at the whistle connection. its a roundhouse jet holder. i simpley soldered the whistle into this the made my own nipple assemble to fit the regner supplied copper pipe to the RH jet holder!

That is rather ingenious! Marvellous, the regner whistles are great and very reasonably priced
