Hi Gang.
Not to change the subject, but I have a question. I'm designing a dead
leg lubricator for my Philly. Can I make the pipe that goes to the
steam tee out of 1/16 OD copper ? The ID is probably about .034 or so.
I'm going to try and disquise the lubricator tank as an air compressor
Why use copper? Brass thin wall tube will give you the external size you
want and the thin wall will give more internal space for the steam/oil to
exchange.

While that's a great idea, I'm not sure that would be compatible with
American practice. I would like to see an example of your suggestion,
however.

Royce,
Bending is easy! Just fill the tube with solder, bend it in your hands,
then melt the solder out! If the
Sorry to but in but I've just read your intentions. It may be worth
contacting Regner locos in Germany. His lubricators are compressors
they look good and work good. Piping is then no problem.
Just a thought.
