    Can anyone on the group help in supplying ONE vacuum release valve, suitable for a 'rolling ring' type brake cylinder please?

    With major bogie lifts planned to allow access to lift out the brake cylinders, one valve is needed to allow this work to progress. Unless the valve is sourced before the planned lift, the work may have to be deferred for up to a year.

    Many thanks

    Try Anderson Carriage and Wagon - sorry I've not got the number to hand. PM me if you can't get hold of it and I'll find it tonight.

    Many thanks indeed to the generous member of this group for letting us obtain a spare that he had at a VERY reasonable price.
    No names mentioned to stave off would be treasure hunters and pikeys!

    You know who you are, so from the Weltrol restoration team, a heartfelt thankyou.
