        Thankfully, almost all the fittings & pipe are molded in silver. I have a new respect & admiration for plumbers as I have to measure, measure again, cut, dry fit, cut, dry fit, etc. to get my plumbing to fit properly. Although I'm getting better at it. PaulE

                That looks like a job for the old "Rattle Can". I wouldn't want to "Hairy Stick" my way through that jungle. :thinking: That's a lot of laid pipe!
                The whole layout and construction looks very well co-ordinated, great result so far.

                  Thanks guys. My middle name is Missioncreep. This was just supposed to be a filler for the far corner. I won't touch "laid pipe" Rick. PaulE

                    It is turning out that each component is a model by itself & integrating them as one very complex model is no joke. PaulE

                            I used to sell proximity switches for a living, and one of my customers made greasers. The idea was that the proximity switch would detect the outside of the wheel flange and operate a compressed-air solenoid that squirted a dose of grease onto the inside of the flange.
