Name that Casting 2025

Ah I thought the twin may have been a pump, unfortunately they don't really float my boat.

I've got a bit of printed metal on it's way to me, so interested to see how that turned out, won't start on the rest of the A J Weed engine until I get it which should be early next week.

I looked at the 6inch Southworth a few years back but decided it was just a bit big... you wouldn't happen to have the drawings, just asking for a friend... :cheers:

Jo:
Hi,

My drawings came from Bob Potter who used to sell the Southworth engines. Bob was at the time more than willing to email out a set of drawings to people. There is a smaller twin duplex in the Southworth series. And somewhere I Surus :facepalm: has a really, really small set of castings for one by LBSC.

A word of warning about the duplexes they are more of a challenge than even the Stuart pump to machine and get to run. So Jason's lack of enthusiasm is understandable. I personally rather enjoy watching their action. I had hoped to acquire their rotative pump but beggars can't be choosers.  :shrug:

my full scale steam guru has been rebuilding several over the last month, tells me the ins and outs to get one to run,, giving me a great deal of advice on the little 4inch I'm working on.. I had looked at Bob's 4inch but realized  that I would have to remake much of it to look correct for my needs..

I have a set of Southworth 8" pump castings and drawings, it looks a bit challenging for me atm, let's say I'm building up to it, one for retirement maybe  :)
