    Howdy Folks -
    I'd gotten all excited about the progress on my #1057 (yes, my West Shops had almost forgotten all about her), especially when I'd added a nice brass pilot.

    Research twice, replace once. After I was admiring my nice boiler tube pilot I take a closer look at 1057, whose pilot is identical to this photo of 1055.

    For right now, I'm choosing to let this bother me. I cannot seem to locate a reasonable casting online. Any recommendations?

    Best Regards,
