loco air pipe fittings and valves

[stevef45]

Does anyone know where you can get anykind of fittings for loco air piping?  Like actual 90* or 45* bends, T fittings anything like this to mimick the prototype plumbing?  I have a model that once I get to the air piping will need to have something done to mimick the fittings and bends. There is a large tank under the frame that is very visible and i'de like to be able to replicate it as best as possible.  Also what brass wire best represents the air piping?  I ran out and dont remember the size.

Steve, you can check out the "Now you can be a Pipefitter too!" post under Diesel Detailing Tricks and Tips. Most small diameter piping can be made using .006" wire. The larger sizes can run from .0125" to .025", depending on which pipe you are trying to represent.
