I had a length of microbore tube that fitted over it and used that to make the body of the fitting where the steam pipe attaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_0794.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_0794-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5514\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_0794-1024x769.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_0794-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_0794-768x577.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_0794-400x300.jpg 400w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_0794.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Gladiator J6 Scratch Built Sand pipes &#8211;
