Hi,

I’m starting to fabricate the steam regulator, which will be located inside of the dome on my loco. But I want to use some brass silver soldered parts in place of bronze to make it up. I have lots brass material and not enough bronze bits. Can anybody please tell me if this is okay to use.

Thanks

Garry

I understand that brass can “de-zincify” under conditions met with the inside of a boiler. I definitely would not recommend using brass, unless someone knows better!
