<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nBesides to large 6\/8 port lubricators mounton the the right hand side there seem to be three different types of 2 port lubricators so i have replicated each type as best I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The types that I have identified (so far) are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rear mounted with pipes coming out of the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bottom Mounted presumably with the pipes also coming out of the bottom, but I haven’t modelled them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The last type are those mounted at the front of the frames just under the end of the smokebox. These are very shallow and have a couple of prominent mounting nuts on top of the angle iron mounting plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What can’t really be seen in the photos is that back edge of the angle plate also has two holes and after struggling to workout how I might hold all the other parts together while I added the last two mounting bolts (the brass angle doesn’t take pressed rivets very well due to the proximity of the other leg) I elected to use the holes to drill the frames and then pass brass pins through to mount them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After doing the initial rear mounted boxes with 180 degree solder it occurred to me, that I would make life much easier, if I soldered the others together using 296 degree solder. Thus making it less likely that they would fall apart if soldered to the frames with 145 degree solder. time will tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The last few days have been all about oil boxes. Studying photos shows that there are quite a number of 2 port oil boxes dotted about the footplate and visible inside the upper frames. There were some castings provided but … Continue reading <\/a><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
