Evening all, I trust you are enjoying my video updates. I just received my first steam loco today, a Dora from Accucraft purchased from Argyle loco works. Now I have some questions if anyone has any answers.
1. I've bought a couple of small Wilesco steam oils (15ml in each) is this going to last me days or years? I'm not sure how much will be used to fill her up. I'm guessing a Ruby uses a similar amount.
2. Is 3 in 1 good enough to be used for oiling wheels and linkages etc?
3. Is a bottle of butane from bunnings with the multi adapter going to be OK to fill this up? The gas connector on the loco just looks like what is on the bottom of clipper lighters I remember from my misspent youth, so I'm guessing it will just fit on?
4. I don't think I can bring myself to spend another 100 odd bucks on the pressure gauge just yet, but are there any other recommendations for accoutrements?
All help welcome!
