Thread: simplex injector
04/10/2020 17:47:02

Nigel,

Many thanks for your constructive advice - The loco is 5 in gauge.

This prompted me to put loco on end to inspect the axle pump, which revealed that the eccentric was turning on the axle, with no horizontal pump movement..

Removing the strap 'bottom end' revealed the grub screw was not keyed into the axle.

Having restored this, the pump is now moving, so I will test at next steaming and if not functioning, revert to your overhaul list.

Hopefully this will postpone need for an injector, as locating the clack valve to pursue the feed inlet, is proving difficult.

If anyone has any diagrams/ pictures to show these positions, these would help for future reference.

I will also pursue membership of the local club at Cinderbarrow, formally Steam Town.

I want to fit an injector and have steam manifold and bottom tank connections, but need advice on how to make the feed to boiler connection. The axle pump doesn't appear to be effective, requiring excessive hand pumping. I do not have model engineering experience or workshop facilities or experience, but could perhaps handle pipework and connections. There does not appear to be any companies offering maintenance services (I run on my garden track in Kendal). I would appreciate advice on how to proceed and appropriate injector size, also any drawings.
