Tom,
if I understand what you are referring to, no. My Bantam has the main dome
cover over the boiler fill hole/safety valve, and a fake hatch in front of
that. There is a banjo fitting to the pressure gauge above the backhead.

Richard,
Gordon installed the axle pump on the SPC 3 at Lee Barrett's request
during the initial build. My Shawe "Jack" does'nt buck when axle pump
operates, but is sized to barely exceed boiler water loss while running.

Lee Barrett converted an Argyle SPC 3 into a Southern Pacific locomotive of
some sort. It's a beautiful engine, apologies that I can't remember the
specifics. He fitted a commercially available pump and an obviously custom
cam arrangment to allow for an axle pump. The pump has a massive

Yes, it's looking like the forward bushing is not a standard item. Easy to
add as long as a monocock bushing is being added... but then I think the
cast saddle tank will need to be drilled.
That being a ton of work, a silicone tube check valve could be added to the
banjo turret with relative ease

Richard, the first 25 Bantams don't have the forward bushing (Diana's Bantam
is S/N 25, Ernie Noa's is S/N 6) and have a turned filler hatch. Either
Gordon has recently started adding the extra bushing, or you have a "one of
a kind". Phil, you have the the latest Bantam. Does it have the forwar

That was aimed specifically at Zbigniew -- it's a Dutch word that

Now my favorite different words are "scud" and "conurbation". Conurbation when

I do, too, but many small-scale steamers have them. It's sort of a
distinguishing feature between simple and sophisticated
locomotives in our scales. (And one of the several ways you can

Filler hatch does not come off on my Bantam. I must have the later version
when the cost reduction program
went into effect!

Many thanks to everyone who enlightened us newbies
about the Goodall valve! Thanks especially to Carl for providing
the pictures and to Clark for extended description.
Seems like a good `temporary' option for me. I need to check
with Sulphur unless I get someone in NL who sells it.
