4 forum posts	Hi all. I'm building a 5" barclay well tank narrow gauge loco and would like to make a pair of 3 cock water gauges for it. Need some advise on how the water gauge cocks work and how are they are made steam tight. If anybody has a drawing or info I would be very grateful. Anthony

Hughes went into great detail on building this engine in the ME series, later published as a book, so if you can find this information it would probably be helpful. I attach a rather poor scan from my elderly set of drawings. Hope this helps Edited By Clive Brown 1 on 10/03/2021 15:19:17
