Boiler door locking wheel

[wiggy1]

Not sure what you call it but does anyone know where I can get the boiler door locking handle in the attached photo?

4mm scale please or anything similar to whats in the attached photo.

Thank you.

Wiggy.

The nearest I came to it is a Markits M4SBD4 Smokebox Door Handle GC & LNWR (Turned Brass) - adapted, otherwise I use a hand wheel and a piece of brass wire for the lever.

Anyone any idea why Irish railways seemed to prefer this arrangement over the two handles that were more or less universal on the mainland since the 20s?

Thanks Kirley,

Looks like I'll have to make one up but worth asking the question.

I didn't know if they were in any kits or not.

Neil they possibly are in some of Studio Scale Models locomotive kits in white-metal but I don't know if Des would sell they as a separate item
