The DL type also seems to deliver less oil (empirical observation on my
part), which I think is a good thing. With the low temperature/low
pressure of our steam, the little beasts don't need anywhere near the dose
of steam oil that most pass-through lubricators deliver.

My name has been mentioned once or twice in this discussion, so below I
reproduce an FAQ I published some time ago:-
The purpose of the lubricator, (and I include this for those who are new to
steam locomotives), is to add oil to the steam feed and form a lubricating
film between the sliding

As per lubricator discussion, what type does the Mike have? In-line,
dead leg or parallel feed. My observation of the Mike has been that they

Hi Jim,
