Marshall blowdown valves required
 

Hi,

At the last boiler inspection I was asked to reinstate the blowdown valve on my Marshall S-type traction engine. I am not the only Marshall owner who requires a new blowdown valve, I know at least one other person that needs one.

Anyone who has the pattern and could cast the part (or has second hand Marshall parts) please contact me.

Thanks

I know someone with a pattern i will give them a call; I know of 3 other engines that need that part.

I think I have a running count of at least 5 engines wanting this now (possibly as many as 8 if everyone knows of different engines). Any help you can provide is appreciated.

Hi I all so need a blow down, would be interested I a casting if your getting a few dun!
thanks

Try James Cummins at Universal steam engineering.

James was talking of making some when I spoke to him at Dorset.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have emailed and asked if they can produce the blowdown valve and enquired about any benefit for all of us if multiples are requested.

Will keep you updated with the answer.

I have a number of contacts now and am pursuing all of them!

If we know how many engines actually require new blowdown valves it will help us all. The ones I am sure of so far are:

76963 (Mine)
34151 ("Jimmie B", belonging to Nick Middleton)

Please PM me with details of other engines and I will keep track of them. Also, if I can get someone to cast these, please let me know if you are interested in trying to do this a group order or if you would rather me send you the details and sort it out individually.

Thanks

Hi there,

We are looking for one for our marshall roller no 75408, so would be interested if this venture goes ahead.

Looking forward to hearing from you
