Post by Vance Nickerson »

Needing to add an axle pump to a LE Pacific 1" scale locomotive anyone have the parts laying around for sale? Who supplies the castings and drawings?

Thanks, Vance Nickerson

They are easy enough to make from bits and pieces.

As many as I have I stalled, never used castings
Too many things going on to bother listing them.

Good luck. Le 1" stuff has not been available for best part of 20 years.
I would think that anyone RTR that has one would have installed it.

In reality, my experience is that I can make one from pieces quicker than machining castings

I have a pump, but no interest in removing the eccentric from the axle in one piece.

That being said, an Eccentric is easy to make. And I can make one... for a price...

you might want to look into Kozo 3/4" steamer and adapt his pump to your engine, if needed i could send a copy of pump details for you to make.
