Hi Mike,
this is exactly what I was looking for! Unfortunately, I cannot read the measurements. Do you have a better resolution?
Thank You for Your help.

Good morning,
I am eagerly looking for a double stroke hand water pump plan for my 5" loco. Could anybody help me?
Unfortunately I got no results on my search in this forum.
Best Regards

Hi Jim,
this is nothing sophisticated. I created it out of the situation. At my hardware store I bought a chipboard and two stands to have a work bench for constructing a lefthand and righthand switch. First, a straight track was put on the chipboard and the rails were marked. Then a bent track...
Hi Peter,
thank you for the information about building a ceramic burner. This will definitly help me. As gas tank I am using a comercially offered one for camping usage. It is build in the first wagon for the operator:
At the time beeing I am constructing a track in my garden. Here is my...
Hello,
in the meantime I succeeded to almost finish my project. Here some pictures:
The last step is underway to install a ceramic gas burner. For this I need some investigation how to build one.
And here the whole train:
All parts of the hand pump are fabricated.
All parts are put together:
Final installation into the tender:
Could anybody give an idea how to mix text and pictures here in the forum. There is a list of attached files, but I don`t know how to insert describstions inbetween?

Now, I will start with the hand pump for the tender and later the automatic pump driven by an axel.
The following pictures are:
- raw material milled to the necessary sizes.
- drilling jig
- pump parts put together before soldering
- soldering station
- main body soldered
- grinding...
Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately, I don`t have any pictures of my mechanical workshop. It is nothing breath taking, it is a small cellar room 2,4m x 4,4m. Big enough to house another lathe, drilling machine and varius grinders.

In the meantime I am able to test the gear on air. Here some pictures of the setup:

A video you will find on YouTube:

Enjoy my test.

Hello,
some more photos about the reverse shaft and the reach rod. Some pins are provisionally replaced by screws.
The eccentric rod shall be determined on the actual assembly for correct valve gear movement. Therefore you see an adjustable dummy eccentric rod in the valve gear.

Thank you for your reply and the proposal. The applications, I have in mind, are to mill slots into a cylinder and to engrave text into a cylinder. The cylinder is fastened in a round table parallel to x-axle. I thought, there is software or a macro existing to support this kind of works.
Hello,
could anyone tell me how to generate G-code for the 4th axle in Mach3? What I would like to do is to turn an item (like on lathe) which is fastened horizontally into the round table. I am using SheetCam TNG for milling, but there is no way to generate code for the 4th axle.
