[Steam-engine] Case 80 or other traction engines

[Ken Majeski]

Well.... I'll put in my 2 Cents worth.... When introducing the Steam 
Cylinder oil into the steam flow one should do one of two things.... Either 
feed the cylinder oil into the top of the steam line... Or Have a standpipe 
sticking into the center of the steam line. This will insure the oil is 
mixed into the steam and doesn't just dribble along the bottom of the steam 
line and lay in the bottom of the steam chest only to be drained off the 
first time you drain the steam chest. This Info worth exactly what you paid 
for it... 2 cents...
