Re: Diesel Outline...
I checked back to your earlier pictures Dave and can see the new lubricator is much smaller!
How did you come up with the new design especially after all this time?

Re: Diesel Outline...
It's got quite a volume Tom, about 5mL
I wanted a lubricator that worked, A lot of thought went into it, eventually opting for bottom feed

Re: Diesel Outline...
I love the noise and running quality of that loco Dave, you should do more videos of it running
Do you have space for an onboard gas tank?

I love it's sound too Tom. Slow is the way to go!
Try this playlist, there's even an outtake

There is just enough room for an onboard gas tank, it's an exciting proposition

Re: Diesel Outline...
Left hand side looks like you could fit a Roundhouse type gas tank?
Your live diesel is huge, I love it!

Re: Diesel Outline...
I will be emailing you Dave for the pdf plans. Have you updated them also.
I love the clatter, it sounds brilliant. You would think it was a Diesel.
Would it be able to run 32mm.

Re: Diesel Outline...
Hi Rod, they aren't my plans but LBSC's from the 1930's which I used for the outline and the general layout - he used a gramophone worm and gear. The original was a 32mm gauge - standard gauge loco. Mine could be re-gauged to be 32mm
Best wishes,
Dave

Re: Diesel Outline...
Morning Dave, or is it afternoon.
Just sent an email to you mate. Thats great for 32mm both waysβ¦

Re: Diesel Outline...
I was just having a look under the loco to see if there was any space

Re: Diesel Outline...
Itβs so confusing Dave. On the forum it shows, Fri Nov 02, 2018 8:56 pm. I posted my reply to you at,Fri Nov 02, 2018 7:54 amβ¦Only 1 hour difference mateβ¦
You are 24 hours in front of us up here in the Northern Hemisphere arenβt youβ¦?
Anyway back to your loco. Are you thinking of R/C Dave. It looks a bit tight under there. But Iβam sure ge_rik could help with that. Or may be your quite capable yourself.

Re: Diesel Outline...
The front looks like your best bet but you might have to make your own tank unless an Accucraft one might fit?

Re: Diesel Outline...
Here's the original gas tank, a converted steam boiler. It could be put inside a tank wagon.

Re: Diesel Outline...
This afternoon I rearranged the gas valve to make it more compact. The dome on the top where the gas is drawn off
