 One of the guys in my modular club has a large 18ft three piece module with three circular grain elevators at one end. His module is supposed to represent a Santa Fe Station in Arizona.

That's my 1950's Santa Fe "Hotshot" Freight parked on his module. Doesn't it look great?

Indeed it is, Peter Yes

Artitec has some beautiful models. I seem to recall the big valve was a Selly "Finishing Touches" detail item. I think they had several sizes in straight and right angle globe valves. Big for HO but there were some pretty big steam valves, 12" to 16" in an old plant where I used to work. They make a nice detail.

Thank you, Ed
