Burrell Bits - Traction-Talk

Broken Firebar · #1 Post / In Thread 27th January 2009, 09:26 PM

I have been asked to be on the lookout for a Burrell Simpling Valve, cannon bracket and other traction engine spares for a gent who is on a rebuild.

New or old, or patterns are fine.

Anyone any bits?

PLease either PM or call me on 07854 226251

Thanks

Tony

PS - and before the wise ar5e5 start, I am not trying to convert my Avelings into an inferior Thetford made machine!

See, told you he was slimmer than me.....

Not only is he enjoying himself, but he is wasting coal as well!!!
AE - Have you noticed that the people without Burrells go on about how much better thier product is. The Burrell owners don't have to bother!

Wasting coal??? I was ready to pull out and this bloke jumped out and made us wait while he took pretty piccys!! If I had set off when I was ready the valves wouldn't have lifted!!

Burrell owners say nowt because they know everyone else is right!!

As granny would say... Empty vessels make the most noise !! LOL

Cant help with simpling, or cannon - but what exactly else Tony?
Simpling on a burrell is not too bad to make pattern for, the body is actually in two bits.
