Used "Mainsteam" Steam Launch This is a launch that I built a while back. It has a single cylinder non reversing "Stuart" Number 10 Engine. The launch has no reversing gearbox fitted so will only sail in a forward direction. It is of course possible to fit a more comprehensive twin cylinder reversing steam engine plant to this launch at extra cost. The launch is "Ready To Sail" featuring a "Maccsteam" 3 1/2 inch horizontal boiler & gas tank, plus a "Mainsteam" hand pump, displacement lubricator, radio controlled steam whistle & condenser/oil trap. Also the launch has pipe fittings & a valve to allow use of commercial larger gas canisters in the boat. It is complete with a "Futaba Skysport" 40Mhz radio control & charger. This radio control was fitted by the owner. This launch is for sale owing to ill health of the owner. The condition is not perfect, it does have some minor marks on it, but overall it is generally in good condition. It also includes the "Action Man" sailor shown in the photograph.

Very Large "Southworth" Steam Boiler Feed Pump See this engine in Steam on YouTube This is a extremely impressive piece of model engineering, built to a very high standard by Don English of "Jubilee Fittings". It runs beautifully - really well. The pump is shown unpainted as can be seen in the photograph. I will be painting the pump very shortly, but as it is so well made, I thought it a good idea to show it in its "raw" state. 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. Height 11.5 inches Steam Cylinder 1.5 inches diameter. Width 4 inches – less fittings Water Cylinder 1 inch diameter. Depth 5 inches – less fittings Stroke 2 inches Approximate built up weight 12lbs.

Large Duplex Steam Boiler Feed Pump See this engine in Steam on YouTube This is a good example of a "Southworth Engines" Large Duplex (Twin Cylinder) Steam Pump. It is newly built & not yet fully run in. The pump is double acting & will move a good volume of water and is therefore suitable for feeding a large boiler. The engineering standard of this pump is very good. The pump has been test run only, both on live steam & compressed air. |
