Re: Driver Casting Repro
Challenge 95 release from BJB Enterprises in Tustin, Ca works as it's supposed to in a Patternshop environment. Must dry completely before any plastic is poured against it.

Re: Little engines 1" line of engines

Re: Axle pump feed water
If memory serves I think The Machinery Works (Howard Gorin) has replacement parts for Olenkamp injectors. Dave Bortz at Superscale would be the person to contact about availability of injector parts for Superscale injectors.

Re: Plumbing a lubricator
If you are lubricating the driving cylinders you will most likely want a mechanical lubricator. If you have a steam pump you would use a displacement type lubricator. Mechanical lubricators are connected to valve rods or eccentrics mostly. The lube line is then attached to the steam input before it ...

Re: Waterproof Glue For A Coal Load
Mix lampblack with the brown waterproof glue until it kind of matches the color of the coal. We used to mix lampblack with all kinds of plastics such as epoxy and it did not seem to affect the cure time or hardness too much. It certainly blackened up the parent plastic though.
