Current regulator doesn't work

Hi, I'm trying to build a current regulator using multiple LM317s. I've had a go here: https://www.circuitlab.com/circuit/4ttpa5/current-regulator/ What I'm hoping should happen is the reading of the ammeter should remain the same even if the resistance of the lamp changes. It isn't working though, can anyone tell me why please? Thanks, Joe	by JoeS88 April 07, 2013

Joe... what was your fix? I took a stab, and this seemed to work... https://www.circuitlab.com/circuit/cfwhnf/joes88-regulator/ Best BG	by bgilbertsound April 11, 2013
Be careful using the CL LM317/LM137 models.
