A vertical steam pump.

Hello everyone,

The steam pump is now finished.

It was fun building the pump. I think the green color suits pumps well.

A stunning piece of work made from scratch; it looks amazing, sounds great chugging away. All the little detailed components you have fabricated have added so much to the overall look 

Thank you very much, Sanjay.

Terrific!  Works and sounds great, the green sets off the metal very well. Your shop elf/engineer  seems very happy with it too.

Great running pump Michael, and looks excellent too. Congratulations on the new shop staff as well. 

Runs great, and looks great!  Wonderful job, Michael!

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words.
Maybe I'll test them with steam sometime.

It would be interesting to see how far the water will jet from a small nozzle at higher pressure.

I also think this pump is better suited for use as a fire pump; it is not well-suited for filling a steam boiler.
The old fire pumps have that slotted crosshead.
