Fantastic model.
Is there any advantage in using this kind of steam valve, I wonder? (Just curious, not meant as a critical comment, of course...)

Hallo Thomas - I either d'not know but some information are found online:

Musgrave_non-dead-centre_engine

I think the advantage is that the engine can stop and restart in every position -
the model has 2 similar cylinders and the original engines always where compound
which means high and low compression cylinders.
The model is very well machined and off high quality.
Greetings Arnold
