Detroit "A" mechanical Lubricator

Post by jeffsmith »

I am looking for drawings for the Detroit "A" 8 feed mechanical lubricator. Just interested in outside dimensions, bolt locations and other outside details. I want to make a non working model.
Thanks,

Jeff

Dan Smoley in Australia makes / sells various lost wax versions of Detroit and Nathan lubricators maybe he has what you want .

Jeff,

There are cross sections and photos of the model A in the 1930 Locomotive Cyclopedia, page 749 that could be scaled. The engine I am building had this lubricator when built by Baldwin in 1928. Have spent much time looking for drawings and when time allows, will build a working model.
