So what's the verdict about using 1/16" OD tubing? I haven't seen any

After the opinionated exchanges regarding the operation of lubricators,
everybody's afraid of giving their opinions on this matter. : )

How about 3/32" tubing to buy a little more cross-section area? 3/32
scales out to 1.8" OD at 16mm/ft and 1.9" at 15mm/ft.

For what it's worth, the Raritan River Railroad, used a lot of Ex.
Actually, mounting air pumps on the front of locos was surprisingly
standard practice for a number of railroads. Many standard gauge locos
had them mounted on the front pilot, right in front of the smokebox.
Some hid them with sheilds, some left them right out in the open.
On the narrow gauge s

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.

Royce,
Bending is easy! Just fill the tube with solder, bend it in your hands,
then melt the solder out!

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.
I'll use it if I can deal with
"bending" issues.

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
