• An early S50 solid disc type crank and bronze cylinde, recently completed,apart from the lagging.
  
  Lubricator made up from bits in the scrapbox as the commercial ones available always seemed out of scale, ie too large.

  Pleased you said that.
  
  I was trying to replicate the small version which I feel looks more realisic.
  
  I initially tried for a FAT LADY type to sit on top of the steam chest but end result not good enough.

• I wish Stuart would have kept that design, I’ve bought a couple engines just to get those early lubricators

• Bonjour,
  A lubricator has a very important function and to my opinion, its content is more important than its look.
  For a steam plant on the table, I fully understand the idea of "realistic" as you cans easily refiil it.
  But for a boat navigating with a pump as example, its autonomy justifies the biggest lubricator possible.
  Example for one of my D10:
