5 forum posts	I am currently building a Galloways model, and I want to fit an oil pump. Should I feed the oil into the steam chests or the cylinders? I would appreciate your comments/advice. Rob

Make sure you have means of metering and a bypass back to the reservoir though - doesn't need a lot if it's for display running only. Are you aware of Albion Alloys copper tubes? They do some very fine bore ones suitable for plumbing oil lines but you do have to make your own unions Tug

12 forum posts	Running on air or steam Ransack I would take care of into the steam chest. Ensure you have method for metering and a detour back to the repository however - needn't bother with a ton in the event that it's for show running as it were. Could it be said that you are mindful of Albion Composites copper tubes? They truly do some extremely fine drag ones reasonable for plumbing oil lines however you really do need to make your own associations Pull
