Nice collection of interesting engines, excellent work
Would be interested in a little more information on the last picture (group of three).

Well, all machines shown were built by me in the last 30 years.
This is the last small series of steam feed pumps for locomotives of gauge 5". The first series I put on 1994. There were 15 pieces at that time.
I produced this last series in 2007 with a total quantity of 7.
They are small self-starting, flywheel-less double acting steam pumps, which have a 16mm steam piston diameter and the water piston is 10mm. The stroke is 22mm. The pump is of the type "Westinghouse".
In the lower pump body there are two suction valves and two pressure valves.
The total size of the pump is 115mm.
In the last year I made two more, slightly larger pumps for a 7 1/4" gauge locomotive.
These pumps have the dimensions steam cylinder 30mm, water cylinder 16mm, stroke 40mm.
