I have built a 3.5" gauge also and used the smallest available injector... my guess is that if you tried fitting one to a 7/8ths scale then it would instantly "kill" the boiler pressure given the small volume of these boilers and then knock itself off. As for mechanical lubricators, technically it can be done but my guess, again, is that it would deliver way way way too much oil. These locos only need the smallest (minuscule) amount of oil.
A very nice video, thanks for sharing.
Very nice 👍👍👍
Always inspiring, thanks.
Good video John, and nice to see "Bunji" doing some work. on gravel skips and a sheep wagon train.
Hello from the UK, really enjoyed that, and some good video angles and shots,
Happy New year from all at the GCLR
Thanks for your kind comments all the way from the UK... I'm originally from glorious Merseyside :)

I am in the West Midlands
Nice run. Has anyone ever tried mechanical lubricators or injectors on 7/8 steam? They are used sometimes on 3.5" gauge
