GEM Dolgoch boiler fittings

[jaymzhatstand]

I've been building the GEM kit for Dolgoch for a while now, I say a while, I got the body all together and fitted to the chassis and just stopped at the pipework!  I got it out of my stock box the other day to carry on, and realised that most of the pipework leads to/from various fittings such as whistles and valves but these are not present. 

My question is this; should the GEM kit have them in the box, if not, where can I get suitable fittings?

Hopefully someone out there has had a similar experience and can help!

Cheers

I'm not sure whitemetal kits usually include a piece of brass wire for the piping. Some of them do. I often use solid core copper telephone or door bell wire as an alternative. This is rather softer as well so it bends easily.

The wire for the piping is there, but the fittings, such as whitstle and savety valves aren't. They are mentioned once in the instructions but not in the parts list.  I emailled GEM to ask about it, but they just asked what part number it was.

Probably it's easier to make them up from scrap yourself. It would save you a lot of correspondence.

Aye, I think I might have a go, I'd say it shouldn't be too hard but I've said that before so will abstain from such utterances!
