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.

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.

This is a Large "Southworh" Steam Boiler Feed pump. Built to a very high standard by Don English of "Jubilee Fittings".

It runs beautifully - really well - please watch the video. The pump is shown unpainted as can be seen in the photograph.

The model features an inbuilt mechanical lubricator too. Altogether a truly wonderful model live steam pump. Even though it is listed here as a "Model", this pump would easily feed a boiler on a full size steam launch.

Large Duplex Steam Boiler Feed Pump

This is an item from my collection. Made by a well known model engineer, this is an excellent example of a "Southworth Engines" Large Duplex (Twin Cylinder) Steam Pump. The pump is double acting & will move a good volume of water and is therefore suitable for feeding a large boiler.

Nicely made example of a Vintage Stuart Turner Number One Steam Engine.

The engineering standard is quite good, and it is a very old collectable engine.

This is a large & powerful impressive steam engine capable of useful work.

This example runs extremely well on steam or compressed air, owing to the fact that I have recently rebuild it.
