>->Now back to Mike's questions. I have a suggestion that you look at a Jensen safety it has a 5/16-24 thread size. The spring on it is suppose to be easily modified. Here is link - Jensen Manufacturing Company, Inc.. For the price it might be worth a try. My wife should have one of these, I will post a picture later.
Bob, I remember the contest to name the "Iron Pony". I was in in High school in
Somonauk at he time the contest was held. I don't remember who won or what the prize was. As you know, both locomotives were built by Augie Otto in his shop south of Sandwich. The second locomotive still runs every year at the Sandwich Fair. I was told that whistle sound is actually a recording of the prototype engine for a more authentic sound. Thanks for your post and pictures. Brought back memories. Rick Hann

Sorry for the late comment,... I only stumbled upon this thread today. I recently built a pop valve using mostly brass hardware from a local hardware store. I posted my build, including a video, here: Pop Valve Build Rather than using a ball seal it uses a simple, mostly flat surface. I'm sure it's not as pretty as yours, but it works nicely.
