Hello there LS community,
I'm looking for a feed water pump roughly 9-14 inches in height roughly 2.5 or 3" scale. Of course ready to run or at least partially machined or even restoration candidate would be better than raw castings. Considering both duplex or single horizontal or vertical. I could potentially use 2 of these for two separate projects (don't need to be the same style). Please let me know if you have something gathering dust at a reasonable price that might work. Also considering old steam-car pumps etc.
Kind Regards
KD

Locoparts sells a Keim steam pump that can be used for water or air. They are RTR.

Re: Wanted: Large Scale Steam Feed Water Pump
Thanks for your replies. Yes, I've seen these before, and the Keim pumps look look great, but price me out new. I'm in no rush, so looking for the right affordable option for me (used, recently re-discovered, or someone looking to make a quick sale). I can spend +/- $500 depending on what's out there. As always, trying to keep my head above water on these projects. Thanks again!

Bill Shields (a member here on Chaski) has the prints for building your own if you wanted to. He would need your email to send you a zip file. I dont remember if his website still hosts the file or not.

Re: Wanted: Large Scale Steam Feed Water Pump
Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) I have too many projects to commit to a new one from castings or from scratch, hence I'm looking for a complete/nearly finished/ or restoration candidate. Thanks again
