Westinghouse pump 5″gauge

[Kevan ShawParticipant @kevanshaw32462]

Does anyone know of drawings for a functional Westinghouse pump for 5″ Gauge? There used to be a company in the USA that made and sold these according to adds in a very old LLAS I have but no trace of the company now. I am working on an LNER D49 that had these fitted when new and it would be good to have the option of making one to uses as a boiler feed pump.

 

THanks and Happy New Year!

Hi Kevan

There is a fairly recent thread over on the Model Engineering Clearing House website, under the title Weir Pump which does deal with single cylinder feed pumps for boiler feeding on locomotives.

I was hoping to find something with a Westinghouse pattern internal valve gear!

There is a thread 281784 started by John Billard on 1 Feb 2017 which looks promising

I am still interested in this.  Don Young in his O-2 design does provide a drawing but it doesn’t appear to be prototypical.
