  I'm trying to find the proper name or a place to find one of these that is found on the CMX track cleaning car.  Needle valve, drip valve, drip screw??  Pic may not help. I'm sure someone here knows!  Thanks

Maybe ask on a home machinist forum?
Garagejornal might be a good place to start...

  I've tried searches on alot of names for what I think it is with no luck.  Maybe that's why they charge a high price on that car?  I'll try that forum you suggested missaberoad.  Thanks

There's definitely alot of machining that goes into those cars. I imagine they were made in a home shop...
The price point is understandable...

Cmx Products is apparently Tony Parisi of Essex Junction, Vermont. If you could find his contact info, he might be the best to ask...

This manual has an address and phone number
