I got it on German ebay for I think 230euro, the sight glass had been Oh hell!, and the holes patched....and of course that wonderful paint job!.
Part of the safety valve is missing and also the filling plug. There is a s.v and a plug on German ebay at the moment..the s.v has hit 100euro, and the plug is at 50euro!....I believe I'll be making those parts!! Laughing

I've no spare Doll s/v's but if you need any measurements or even if you want to borrow one to make a replica, you're very welcome - just ask.

The Fleischmann s/v is the same by the way.

Thanks Stephen, that's very decent of you, however all I need to make is the threaded post that the arm pivots on, the arm, and the weight and those I can copy from my Fleischmann..Thanks again!

Oops - sorry it's a weighted arm s/v not a screwed insert, stupid of me (too much wine with Sunday dinner!).

Forest Classics do them - I bought one for a Bing with a 5mm insert, non-standard but it looks good! They have various sizes.
