No, The kind used for radio control the little valve that switches the exhaust ot the intake and intake to exhaust. I'm not sure how they work but would love one.

Sounds more like the one's on the tractors, because that re-routes the exhaust steam?

Thanks, but 42 USD is a little steep for me.

I have two of the loco ones. However I also have two locos that are making good use of them.

Take a look at pps, link in moosemans post above, and also look under the MSS and Mamod spare parts section on the same site.

The standard ones only cost £15, they're quite complex.
