Young Valve Gear

Post by FLtenwheeler »

Does any one know if there is a live steamer that is using Young Valve Gear? I am thinking about building a 1-1/2" scale 2-8-2 with it.

A friend used Young on a heavy Mike for several years. IIRC, he did it because he hadn't seen it done before. In a rebuild, he replaced it - with Baker IIRC. We've been running in different circles and I haven't talked to him for a couple of years, but could probably dig up an email address.

I left him a voice mail yesterday. I'll send you a note directly when I hear from him.
