If Duncan's calculations are correct for the original pump then, a 0.75in diameter piston in a conventional pump (I think we all know what that is) with a stroke of 1in, would deliver a smidge more and be a whole lot simpler?

Jason, you had it right first time I think. Most people will not go out of their way to subscribe and you did more than most would expect to do.

I think the best feedback is voting with your feet, having told them why.

You can always try to come back later and if the process has improved, join again. Then you will be a new customer, be treated better and maybe get a gift!

Having joined up for my first year and having observed the content continuously, I find it is unlikely I will need to renew my subscription.

This subject always brings out the best in people don't you think?

Come on Clive - we are all with you!

Alternatively, you could try the Model Engineering Clearing House Forum - there are probably more than enough queens on there.

Do you still use them? Would be good if you do.

It was just amazing what they got into 32k of memory. I think Microsoft should take a look back and learn something about concise programming and boot-up times.

Like Ketan says - "damn Microsoft" - but they have got us hooked!

Apologies, I should have said hydrostatic, not displacement in the above (I think). Too late to edit.

Looks like Terry has the answer for you.

You seem to have decided on a mechanical lubricator. There is another alternative - a displacement lubricator. The picture shows one fitted to a Pansy cab - the output remains to be connected at the top and down through the hole next to the boiler. The expansion tank fits neatly under the floor between the back axle and the brake operating shaft.
Although this offering does not look prototypical, this type of lubricator is prototypical to the 57XX.

The cab of 5764 - the lubricator flow sight glasses are on the right (I think!)

All included in the best possible taste - it is probably not viable to change course now.

Hope it goes OK.

Interestingly, or perhaps not, there is a bloke who sells new plywood tops for the original B&D workmates - WM750 etc. The price is twice that of a Wickes Workmate.

The difference I suspect between chipboard, MDF and ply is not only price - the first two give way with little warning as more pressure is applied, whilst plywood is more robust and also gives gives more warning.

Isn't the solution not to use a workmate as a stepladder? (I know, we all do naughty things sometimes!). If you buy cheap you have to respect the limitations. In other words, you get what you pay for. IMHO of course.

Hello Ken.

I thought angels were virgins and therefore not for grinding!

Hope you feel better now.

Such a terrible and dangerous place - best you do not risk going again - then there will be more room for us!

Phil, I think you will have to decide what year your model is going to be. My stuff says the bunker is black inside in all guises.. However, it says the inside cab roof was loco green between 1929 and 1945, probably the most popular era modelled, and 1945 onwards it is all in the sexy black.

The roof on the pictures above seems to be cream though. These pictures of 5764 show the step and the cab roof in cream also. Beware - preserved locos are not always correct - they have as much trouble as the modellers in getting it right and often have to just "go for it." Their objectives are different though.

Over to you Julian

Regret I do not have it, but you give the impression you thought it was superior to the Super 7. I just wondered why.
