The LocoParts mechanical lubricator is a work of art, and works accordingly!  The body is powder-coated steel tube.  Using clutch bearings, it is dual feed for reliability.   Dual outlet connections are 1/8” tube compression fittings. This lubricator is made for mounting under the running board as the top is made to slide rather than open vertically., but if it is desired to locate it elsewhere, you may remove the mounting bracket and fasten it as needed to accommodate your preferred mounting.   We generally machine out an opening in the running board approximately 1-1/4” square and mount the lubricator under there.  In use, to fill you slide the top back, fill, and then return the top to its closed position.   Available in 2 sizes:  1-1/2” square x  2-3/8 “ high, and 2” square x   “ high.  Prices:

This glass offers prototypical blowdown operation and will scale well with boilers of 10" in dia. and larger.  It has been developed for the 2-1/2” and 3-3/4” scale engines but will be happy on any 1-1/2” scale Pacific, Hudson or Northern.  Glass length shown in photo is 5" long, but this assembly is available in 4”, 5”, or 6” lengths and is made in both right-hand and left-hand models.  Backhead thread is 1/8” IPS. Glass blowdown valve is included.  All models/glass lengths are the same price. Provided with top /bottom unions.
$  295.00

The assembly comes complete with valves and  unions on both ends.  The assembly measures 5-1/2” between union ends.  The bottom end requires a 1/8" pipe threaded hole in the backhead.  See note.  Thereafter, when removing for service loosen the two unions and the whole assembly comes off.  Glass size is ½”.  NOTE:  Backhead fitting ¼” IPS avail special order.

Gauge Glass assembly – Short model for smaller boilered  engines.

This is the same gauge glass assembly we offer for 1-1/2” scale except the glass is 1-1/2” long instead of 2-7/8” long.  The center-to-center distance between inlet and outlet is approximately 4”.  This is a limited availability item.  To assure availability, order a few months ahead of your needs.  Our valve supplier is constantly behind on keeping us in stock, and this in turn makes these not always available on short notice.  Note: the blowdown valve is not shown as it was not available when the photo was taken.  It is included in the assembly when shipped.

Grates are fabricated from 304 stainless steel bar and TIG welded.  Grates for Allen engines are 2 piece, and grates for LE engines are 3 piece.  Note:  these grates will last a long time if properly cared for, i.e., if the ash pan is dumped on a regular basis and ashes not allowed to accumulate until they touch the grates.  If this condition is allowed to occur, all grates, regardless of material, will rapidly burn out.  For this reason, there is no warranty on grates after they have been used.

Clecos are temporary sheet metal fasteners generally used when riveting 2 or more pieces of sheet metal together.  For use in building tenders, rolling stock, cabs, or any part of a model steam locomotive requiring the riveting of parts, these are invaluable.  They are reuseable as long as you don’t destroy them by abusing them.  We offer then in 2 different sized packages, both packages come with a set of Cleco pliers( nothing else will work with these).

$45.00  Cleco Pkg 1:  36  3/32”  & 12 1/8”
$70.00   Cleco Pkg 2:  60  3/32”  & 24  1/8”

CLECO Clamps

These are just about the neatest clamps you will find.  We use them here at LOCOPARTS to hold the half-round trim on tenders while it is being soldered in place.  They come in 2 different sizes, ½” long and 1” long.   

Price:  $4.00 each either length.

Piping Kit for your Engine

Almost all needed items in one package…SAVE!

For those of you who are building an engine and are just starting to obtain your fittings and steam appliances, Locoparts is now offering a package of all the required parts which we make in one group at a considerable savings.  Note that the package must be procured all at one time and there can be no substitutions other than as noted.  Any additional items you may wish to add will be priced at the group discount price. 

This package includes the following items:

*for 2” lubricator add $10.00

 Custom Items for Allen Engines-While They Last

We can provide almost any part for Allen engines.  Shown are the custom ash pans $250 we make.  The ash pan is 16 ga. (or heavier) stainless, TIG welded, with a sliding bottom.  This must be installed prior to the boiler as it bolts to the frame rather than the mudring.  The actuating lever is then located on the floor of the cab. 
 

Machined rod set for either Fitchburg-Northern, $250

All items are shipped via USPS or UPS (our choice).  Please add the following for packaging/shipping/insurance:  for all items EXCEPT grates and hand pump, add  $12 east of the Mississippi, and $15 west of the Mississippi.  For grates and pump, add $20 for all locations.   

We guarantee complete customer satisfaction of our products or items can be returned postpaid in the same condition received (new and unused in any form) for refund or exchange.  All items are  manufactured using the finest materials and are warranted against any material and manufacturing flaws for a period of 30 days after receipt.  Any and all warranties, written and implied, are voided if items have been disassembled, abused and/or modified in any way.

 Prices:  Since most of our items are labor intensive, and I provide that labor, the prices are fairly stable.  I am making a transition to lost wax and sand castings for several items and of course have no control over the cost to me of these and other raw materials, so prices may occasionally change without notice.

 With the exception of  tenders, gas burner assemblies and most Allen engine assemblies, I attempt to have all items in stock at all times.  Sometimes I may be out of what you want.  If this is the case you will be notified of the expected shipping date, and at your option, I will ship when available or send your money back.  In most cases, I ship no later than the next day after receipt of your order.
