Southworth 12″ Boiler Feed Pump

[Ian Richards 4Participant @ianrichards4]

It's been a while since I've posted on the forum as for the last 4 years I've been busy building my 15ft steam launch, "S.L. ISAMBARD".

Now that she's launched and most of the snagging done I'm already thinking of improvements (or just for the hell of it … alterations).

I currently use a belt driven Hypro pump as the boiler feed pump, but rather fancy a Southworth or similar.

Once I know that I have sufficient steam to drive this as well as my Mumford single engine, I'd like to build one.

Is it still possible to get the castings ?

Any advice or pointers greatly appreciated.

TIA

Ian
