Nice one. Like the fact that the o-ring is visible, it sort of advertises its purpose even for someone who isn't aware of the functionality of a steam engine. "This part, can be opened." or something like that.
You did it again myford, another awesome video as I been waiting all week for you to put up your video. You are one skill craftsman at your work. Can't wait till your next video. Thanks for making my day :)
What are we to do when you have finished this? How about a 1 gauge steam loco? Perhaps a basic design that can be dressed according to what loco the builder wants to model? A 2-6-2 tank loco would be neat.
As I understand this, the steam mixes with the lubricant and a small amount of lubricant is then pulled into the engine. If this is the correct operation, how long does the lubricant in the lubricator last?
It depends on the size of the hole in the steam pipe. A more sophisticated version would have a needle valve to adjust the oil flow. I have not been able to test this one yet but a filling would be able to last as long as you would normally run the engine for.
Brilliant display again,you don't beat about the bushes,you perform like a cnc machine.
Great to watch,thanks for sharing.
It looks so easy... but it takes a long time until you reach this level... nice video

Why don't you use oil with the tap?
No need to use oil on brass.

I melt aluminum cans and it became very harden what I add instead of the silicon to be soft
