 Inspired by the fantastic atmospheric models of Bernard I set about making some accessories for my steam launch (where does he find those bits and pieces?).
The following photos and video is showing my first effort a working stirrup pump. I had to look up a GCSE physics exam to find out how they worked.
Once completed it will no doubt never be put to work but at least I will know it works.

That's what I like to see, getting water all over the place, Nice Work!

Great piece of modelmaking, now all we need to see is whether it has enough power to top up the boiler while still at pressure, Cheers, Ian.

Steam test undertaken today and to take advantage of the warm boiler I took it to the pond on a cool but bright day the steam looked good I thnk very pleased.
