Why not a picture of a Cole's Worthington pump?
Many years ago, part of my early experience with machinery was building a Cole's Worthington pump. There are a few corrected mistakes in it, it might not last too long if I put it to work. With 35 PSI from an airbrush compressor it will squirt, with its unique rhythm, a small stream of water about 6 feet.
I had a Harpur Mogul. With axle pump, injector, and hand pump I did not need the Worthington pump.

And if the above leads don't work out, I have a foggy memory that there might be something available from Australia. Warrick Sandberg (warrick_sandberg@hotmail.com) or the folks at Bolton Scale Models (sales@ejwinter.com.au) would be two places to check. Sandberg sells a nice looking one-lung unit.

Re: Worthington pump?
Late to this discussion, I have finally begun machining my Coles Worthington pump!
I acquired the kit from Coles many, MANY years ago, and now that my other projects are completed and waiting to be steamed,
the Worthington pump is getting its place on my machines.
It is a complex project, presenting some fun mental challenges. I won't rush this build.
To be continued.
