Thanks Peter, Obviously I have seen your cars, but I don't want to do a Brewer (inside joke guys) and pickup others items without good reason. I just ordered a couple of sets along with some more Star paint, so I'll have the chance to try them on some SHS cars later this summer. Many of my cars have the angle cock from Tomalco brass sets, which sound similar to the BTS version. However I've only applied the actual hose and connection to a few. I've installed all the ones that have come with the PRS cars, but occasionally I find them laying between the rails, so they must get bumped off--gotta talk to the switch crew 'bout that!
