Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Bonjour Travis,

The D10 is my preferred steam macine, it is always a pleasure for me to see one operating smoothly.

My concern about it is its bad abililty to rust ==> how do you prevent yours from rusting ?

Mines have a little nut on the cylinde head to onsert oil after each run :

I really need to look into that, however on all my engines I usually put some oil into the cylinder bore; if they will be idle a long time.  I run them so frequently that this usually isn’t an issue.  But, I also realize this D10 is using cast iron not gun metal, thus probably need to invest in an air compressor.

This D10 has an oiler installed.
