Aside from Multi-Service and Pittsburgh Air Brake, are there any other suppliers doing brake valve servicing? Specifically, the older passenger valves--- UC, L-3, etc.

Suggestions are welcome.

In addition to the above, I would like to add M-38-C brake valve to that list.

One thing to pay attention to here is that the AAR will not certify shops for obsolete valves. Certified shops may do work on obsolete valves if they so choose, but there can be no representation that "we are certified by the AAR to do H's, K's, P-1's, L-3's" or what have you.

Strasburg will do obsolete triples up to the LM configuration according to historic protocols with test racks maintained to certified parameters. We do not do UC valves. We will also make parts for the valves that we service.
