Need help with 3rd Rail Erie Berk | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Conductor EarlOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Dear Friends,

I discovered that the linkage for the automatic oiler attached to the valve gear on my 3rd Rail Erie S4 became unattached. It's hard to see where the lower end should be connected. I presume it must near the crosshead but I can't make out the point of attachment or if something is missing. If someone owns one of these would you be so kind as to photograph the valve gear near the oiler and post it here.

Thanks,

Earl

So few of these are made that I think your best bet is to contact or alert Scott Mann. @sdmann

Thanks Jim. That was plan B. I thought I give it a go here first. This group is THE best resource for just about everything concerning the hobby. The engine is right at the top of my favorite's list.

Dumb question but is the automatic oiler only on one side of the engine?

Earl,
It should connect to somewhere on the combination lever as shown below.

If there is only one, yes. If there are two, usually they would be mounted on either side, but, I'm sure there are exceptions.
