hi John,

Just noticed your post so might be a bit late but what you should get is the Foster lubricator from Live Steam. It is a correct scale reproduction. The smallest they do is a 3" scale but this is the scale of the lubricator shown on the plans. Doesn't look too out of scale.

Yes this is Australia. I live in a rural area 2 hours from Adelaide (capital of South Australia.) I have driven to Adelaide and back twice in the same day!! 200 miles each round trip. I often go to meetings one hour or more away. And I live in the more settled part of the state.

Cheers

We drove over 1700km to go to the Rally at Timbertown at Wauchope !!! A pleasant 2 day drive.

Cheers

Hi Paul,

Yes I hope to be at Echuca. I am in the Clare Valley Model Engineers and I am organising the 2022 rally for here at Clare. I better be in Echuca to answer any questions and put in a plug for us.

Thanks for the welcomes. Have just steamed it but there is a problem with steam bypassing somewhere. Need to check the ring as all else seems to be OK. Time is an issue as I am still building our earth covered house. Will post some photos soon.

Cheers

Hi, My name is Dean Manderson and I live at Clare in country South Australia.

I am well into the build of a 3" Allchin Royal Chester and am a member of the Allchin Builders Group. My workshop consists of a Colchester student six and a RF30 Drill/Mill (Chinese). I am a novice builder/machinist. Fortunately a couple of the members in our group are expert toolmakers and are helping me greatly.
