Dream Steam

For new MSS & Old Mamod Live Steam Model Railway Locomotives

Dead-Leg Displacement Lubricator

The Dream Steam Dead-Leg Displacement Lubricator ensures 'O' ring pistons receive just the right amount of lubrication during steaming. The new revised design now includes an adjustable fixing plate and a drain screw to empty the cup.  We also include a special curved tip syringe to draw off excess water before topping the oil up. 

It might seen odd but if you imagine water going down the bath plug in a circular whirling motion - this is how the oil travels down the inside surface of the tube whilst steam comes up the middle. As the steam condenses in the cup, the oil floats to the top and down the protruding tube.  Excess water is sucked out using the curved tip syringe supplied.

The lubricator is positioned at the front of the loco on the right of the smoke box for easy removal of the screw cap. No soldering is required. The special push fit 'T-piece' adaptor fits into the back of the forward and reverse block and the steam feed pipe, which will need shortening, pushes into the adaptor. Partial dismantling of the front portion of the loco is required to fit this part. Comes full instructions. Only use 460 Compound Steam Oil, available separately.

Dead-Leg Displacement Lubricator - Price £26.60p

High Pressure Safety Valve

One of the most popular and effective upgrades you can get, along with a three wick meths burner, the effective pressure is raised to about 20-25 psi, thus giving more power to the pistons but still within the safe working pressure of the standard boiler. 

Available in a ¼ x 26 t.p.i. thread for standard loco boiler, usually fitted in place of whistle when used with Water Top-up Valve. Also available in a 14 x 40 t.p.i. thread size.

Top Three Wick Meths Burner

(New silicone rubber bung with breather tube)

Improve the steaming of your loco with Dream Steam's Three Wick Meths Burner, which, when combined with a High Pressure Safety Valve, will increase power and running time to 15-20 minutes. Dream Steam have introduced a new silicon rubber bung with a breather tube for safety and a curved tip syringe for filling and draining the tank.

Fits in place of the original solid fuel burner tray. A few minor adjustments with a small file may be required depending on how tight your loco is.  Comes complete with special silicone bung, spare wick, screw mounting nut, curved tip syringe, special chassis spacer and full instructions

Only use Methylated Spirit in this burner.

Three wick Meths Burner - Price: £31.20p

Top Water Top Up Valve

To take advantage of the extra running time of the Meths Burner, this Water Top Up Valve allows water to be pumped into the boiler a little at a time during running without having to take the Safety Valve off.  Use with high temperature plastic feed pipe fitted to a water pump bottle or a large syringe.

Available in ¼" x 26tpi thread for standard loco boiler.

Water Top Up Valve - Price: £8.50p

Top Steam Regulator Kit

To control the extra power or just to add extra control to speed, this regulator kit contains an adaptor  that fits into the whistle hole and extends into the cab where a fine control regulator valve controls the amount of steam that passes into the feed pipe to the pistons. Opening in top of adaptor to take High Pressure Safety Valve

Comes with adaptor, regulator valve and handle, copper pipe to forward and reverse block with connection nipple and nut, a cap to close off existing steam feed under dome, washers and full instructions.  Some dismantling and minor alteration to the cab front is required to fit this item. 

Please note, the adaptor has a ¼" x 26tpi thread to fit in a standard loco boiler and to accept a 14 x 26 tpi threaded High Pressure Safety Valve sold separately above.

Steam Regulator Kit - Price: £29.20p

Top Steam Upgrade Kit.

Sold in a pair, this kit is the most economic way to take full advantage of the extra power generated from the Meths Burner and Higher Pressure Safety Valve by adapting your standard pistons into more efficient 'O' ring pistons and gland nuts and higher tension cylinder springs, which combined reduces the amount of steam leakage and lets more of the energy from the steam transfer to the drive wheels. 

Comes with profiled 'O' ring pistons, piston rods, replacement back caps and front caps with 'O' ring gland nuts, higher tension cylinder springs and full instructions.  Requires dismantling of standard cylinders and pistons.  Must be well lubricated at all times during running.

Steam Upgrade Kit - Price: £15.60p

Cylinder Covers

To cover the standard pistons and add to the aesthetic charm of your loco. These metal covers come with double sided sticking pads already attached to stick the covers onto a clean and dry underside of the smoke box foot plate. However, if preferred, the pre-drilled hole may be used to attach with a screw or bolt.

Cylinder Covers - Price: £5.50p
