	Professionally Built Model live Steam Boiler Feed Pump Price £495.00 A very well engineered NEW Live Steam Boiler Feed Pump This is a Special "one off" pump, similar in design to the "Southworth" type - but bigger (approximately 7 inches tall). The Steam Cylinder is 15/16" diameter & the double acting Water cylinder is 11/16" diameter. It is very suitable for a larger boiler such as used in 7 1/4" gauge locomotives or larger stationary steam plants.

	Stuart Turner Double 10V Model Steam Engine This is an engine I have had for a while, intending to rebuild it, but I don't seem to have the time these days with too many projects on the go, even though it wouldn't take long to rebuild it. The engine has a makers plate on the wooden base & is dated 1972. The engineering standard is OK in some places & not good in others. The crankshaft is 1/4" in diameter - it should be 9/32", so it is a rattle fit in the bearings. However, it does actually run on compressed air, albeit a bit erratically in the crankshaft area - ! It needs fully dismantling & rebuilding, which is much quicker & easier than starting from scratch with the castings. A good Winter project for someone.
	Model Steam Boiler Hydraulic Test Rig This neat & compact test rig allows hydraulic testing of model steam boilers. The pressure gauge is 0 to 400psi. Recently built with a NEW hand pump fitted. All unions are 1/4" x 40tpi. All pipe joints are Silver Soldered.
	Stuart Turner 504 Model Steam Boiler - Late Model Dimensions: Boiler Diameter: 3 1/2 inches Overall Length including Burner: 14 inches Height to top of chimney: 14 inches Width: 4 3/4 inches This is another Stuart 504 "Babcock" type steam boiler from my collection. This 504 boiler appears to be a later model - when I bought it, the boiler had never been steamed & I have only steamed it a couple of times. The safety valve is slightly different in design & locates in the threaded boiler bush with an "O" ring to seal it.

It steams very well and I have used it several times to provide steam for my model steam engines. I have recently polished the boiler barrel & given the casing a coat of black paint.
	6 inch "Southworth" Live Steam Boiler Feed Pump - USED Made from "Southworth Engines" Gunmetal Castings & Steel. The pump runs very well and in common with all the range of "Southworth Engines" pumps, it moves a good volume of water for its size. Engineering standard is OK and the pump should give years of use. 1/4" x 40tpi unions throughout for 5/32" pipe.
	See this engine in Steam on YouTube This is a Large "Southworh" Steam Boiler Feed pump. Built to a very high standard by Don English of "Jubilee Fittings".
