| 7 forum posts | Can somebody tell me where I can find or buy the articles written by Gordon Smith? Collecting stuff to start building steam engines. Recently BlondiHacks had trouble with commercial safety valves. I starting looking into this and Smith's name came up over and over again. I can't find information on line at all other then his designs are supposed to be really good. Thanks. Charles |

| 411 forum posts 22 photos | Hi Polly models sell the springs for them and also a drawing for the particular one you are making . I think the drawing was 50pence a couple of years ago. I've made several, they work well but I wouldn't describe them as very Pop. |
