gazer117 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hi, I am in the process of detailing a Bachmann Jinty using brassmasters detailing set, but I'm stuck when it comes to the injectors. I can't work out how/where to fit the injectors as the instructions are wonderfully vague and the pictures online don't clear things up much more. Has anyone got a photo of the brassmasters injectors fitted to a Jinty or photo of the real thing that might help show me where they fit ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not overly knowledgable about these things but do you happen to have a photo of the part in question? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockalaucher101 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Looking at the instructions and the images on the Brassmaster site it looks like they're glued to the back of the steps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess that the two arms of the Y shape are mounted at the top and the single piece with 90 degree bend facing outwards underneath the bottom of the steps ?

Rockalaucher101 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Certaily looks to be the case from looking at the kit photo's and some photo's of the real things. Instructions say that the one with three pipes is on the left and the one with four on the right with the pipe extending under the step. You can just about see them here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted September 16, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 16, 2020 The injectors are behind the cab steps. You can see the steam blowing back from the clacks in this view. Jinty photo showing steam coming from injector overflow pipe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Yes, they go behind the steps - a common position for tank engine injectors. I need to finish mine but before you fit them properly, do check that they clear the rods. I had to remove quite a bit of whitemetal to achieve clearance (in EM).
