• I think I found the valve that matches that piston..........in the housewares section at Value Village. Actually, it's for an even larger engine. The head is about 4" in dia, and the stem is about 14". Unfortunately I don't have a pic or I would post it. I currently have it in my living room as a conversation piece!

  I wonder if anybody else on the list knows what a Napier Deltic is? Besides very cool. I read once that mine tenders ran stainless (non magnetic) Deltics during WW2.

• Further to Toby,
  Here is a link for those of us who like interesting designs, and much spare time.

  please look as it astonishes me.
  If you want a bit more info on these engines, try the following link, it is work safe, the "nasty" in the link refers to the class of naval (not navel!) boats, not the content.
