Hi,

Mamodman can you take some photos showing all the bends in the pipework for the oiler on your loco as I need to bend mine up and dont want to get it wrong and some photos of yours would really help.

Thanks

Can you do it in 10?

Great thanks mate.
I've already wasted 3 inches of pipe on crap attempts at making a new exhaust pipe but think I've got that sorted now just dont want to break the lubricator bending it up wrong.

Thanks,
Stupid twats bent my pipe all in the wrong directions, have had to straighten out their bends and start again, now I've got kinks in the pipe.

Done it but there will be no photos as I'm ashamed of it.
May have to make a replacement one, one day now I know where to make the bends.
