Re: 2 1/2" scale 4-6-0 build
I had some 5/8 stainless on hand so the bodies were turned and threaded. Back when I tapped the 1/4npt for the drain cocks I ground the tap length to get 3 full threads . I turned a straight 18tpi to fit. Silver soldered lever arms. Need some linkage. The tender tank is looming. Jim

The closer your valve is to the water level the higher chance of priming.
