A syringe is not practical unless you have vice like hands and the syringe and tubing are made of metal. The pump bottle I got from Roundhouse worked for awhile before failing. Aster sells a nice Trackside Pump http://www.southernsteamtrains.com/inventory.htm that will work until I die so I can have my club buddies fight over who gets it because they were still buying plastic pump bottles to save money. Personally the $70.00 or so is well worth the money sent to http://www.sssmodels.com/ or any other dealer. Do you have a Goddall type valve already installed to allow injection of fresh water? I have found any of the live steam suppliers are very helpful in discussing possible solutions and needed supplies. Personally, I have ordered from Southern Steam Trains and Sulphur Springs Steam Models the most.
