Hello everyone.
Getting back into a 71/4 steam loco after many years away from the hobby.
Looking for the Martin Evans article on steam injectors in ME volume 142 pages437 and 505.
Can any one help?

Hi there!
Sorry I can't help directly with the steam injector, but welcome to the forum!

I'll be interested in what others have to say about the steam injector though

Welcome here 

Steam Injectors has been discussed many times here over the years - both how and why they work - and some about how to make a succesful one in the size you need 

Sorry I don't remember where or who - but the search function might just get you what you look for ....

Best wishes

Welcome Asherjackson to MEM.

I don't have the article you are asking about, sorry. I do have an alternate source of injector knowledge for you though. There's a book by D.A.G. Brown called "miniature injectors inside and out" which clearly explains the theory, construction methods, and testing of small steam injectors. Mine is by TEE Publishing in the UK and the ISBN number is 1 85761 134 9. It's far more sensible and practical than anything else I have read on steam injectors, and I built several successful ones straight from the book instructions. Valves and pipework for the injector are also important and Mr Brown covers these subjects too. Even has a section on steam ejectors for making vacuum for vacuum braking of engines and trains as is/was common on UK locomotives small and full size apparently. Just food for thought.

Martin Evans has four pages on injectors in his book "The Model Steam Locomotive" (first published in 1983). This appears to be quite comprehensive. The book is readily available from TEE Publishing Ltd (ISBN 1 85761 132 2).

I am building a 5" gauge loco and have bought its injector "off the shelf". I have seen too many locos with injector problem.

Anyway, welcome.

in the older magazines with some of the known models from martine evans and LBSC and others description of making injectors have been repeated
the details that are important are the edges at the ends of the cones the water and steam must stream or flow smoothly and the gaps to allow the
amount of water and steam .there must be room for the steam to expand in the over flow spaces .
