Esmedune Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Good afternoon, my lovelies, Another lame "I can't find the most simple things online" question from me, but I am looking for taps, and Wizard does not come back with anything when I search on "tap" or "taps". Is it me being stupid or is there a hole in the market. I have a glass lined milk tanker, Stephenson's Rocket and Welshpool & Llanfair's "The Earl" all in need of a tap, and I don't really just want to bend a bit of wire to look like one, I want a lovingly crafted speck of brass or white metal, as I'm sad ;-) Edited October 24, 2021 by Esmedune Typo... as per usual Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) GEM do them. Attached to a post as they are meant for yards. But that's the best I can think of apart from maybe someone does a 3D version. Search for GEM Model Railways. For some reason the link was flagged as being unsafe.

Yeah, I'm a bit skeptical of how everything on my computer panicked at this site, but they would have been a good starting point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMG Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I simply go on ebay and type in what I want. Works every time. Or you can look for Tracy Tools they have every size of tap and die that you could want. You need to look in the right places. In this instance places that specialize in tools Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
