Railways Forever Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Does anyone know if there is a steam ejector 00 scale cast or machined on the market. I want to replace the one on my Hornby Jinty Thanks Derek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mol_PMB Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I assume you’re referring to a vacuum brake ejector rather than a blastpipe nozzle? Do you know what type of ejector was fitted to the prototype Jinty? Possibly a Dreadnought? I’m sure there are castings for the common ejector types available in 4mm scale but they may be more easily found if you search for the specific type.

RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted March 30 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 30 Alan Gibson list an 'LMS vacuum ejector' (as well as Stanier and MR vacuum ejectors) so I guess that's what you want. Probably worth giving them a call. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted March 30 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 30 That fitted to the Fowler 3fs was a Midland style, rather than a Stanier one. Alan Gibson lists this as 4M603 MR steam vacuum ejector. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Comet do the Stanier types including the one for the Pacifics. https://www.wizardmodels.ltd/?s=ejector&post_type=product&title=1&excerpt=1&content=1&categories=1&attributes=1&tags=0&sku=1&orderby=date-DESC&ixwps=1 Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to replace the one on my Hornby Jinty Thanks Derek There are Vacuum Brake Ejectors and Live Steam Injectors (And on some locos not Jinties Exhaust Steam Injectors) not sure which the Jinty actually needs but the Wizard Stanier types are not much like the Jiny Vac ejector set up which seems to be typically mixed up with the right hand handrail. The Injector pipework seems to be hidden, and inaccessible in typical LMS fashion instead of having a top feed where youncan get at it Edited March 31 by DCB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Oops. Missed the Jinty bit. As stated above the MR one is correct. https://www.flickr.com/photos/grytr/45638730021 If you pick one between 16650 - 16749 (later 7567 - 7666 (then 47567 - 47666)) then you don't need one as they weren't fitted with vacuum brakes or steam heat. But that would limit them to just shunting and occasional trip work. Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted March 31 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 31 My mistake - should have looked at some pictures. I was thinking that the Jinty had the ejector on the left side of the boiler, like most LH drive LMS standard types. MR it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
