Im trying to find a water pump for my MOW project but cant find anything. I got the water steam transfer pump from ozark but it seems way to small. Does anyone know where I might be able to find a water pump. I could not find anything bigger from Ozarks.
Shawn,
Do you have a picture of what you want?
Geoff that one is a little too fancy for what I need. This is the one I got from ozark.

This will work but it seems too small. Its 1:20 scale. If I could find something twice that size.
Shawn,
Using Bruce’s theory of expansion, couldn’t you take a Bachmann steam generator, cut and add to it and creat something that looke like that?

Besides ozark is there any other dealers that makes detaiiled parts?
…and here I was thinking you actually wanted to pump water…oh well…
shawn you can check with Barry Olsen. He may have the Bmann part your looking for.

wonder if you could find something made for Boat Models?
Hide a gated CO2 cartridge in it
Shawn, Give the Trackside Detail Website a Try, They have some that may be of help to you.

Shawn said:Was thinking the same thing and actually you can. All you need is an impeller on a motor(think fish aquariums)Fred Mills said:LOL Now that would be cool if I can do that

Shawn, how about getting the smallest aquarium pump you can find, power it from a DC/AC inverter, all hidden somewhere inside the car you are building…run a small tube to the ‘pump’. Just a thought, can get pretty small inverters now (cigarette lighter plug-in style) might have to stripit down a little.
Never seen something like that on these forums!!!..YET!!!..LOL.

Actually a Bman airpump might be closer to being a water pump…steam powered piston pump that is…but a pump doesn’t have to be big to be effective…
I could get you one cheap…used, not abused…from the local sewage lagoon…they are changing them out…might need some cleaning up, if you plan on using it for drinking water…

Shawn said:Shawn, that is the correct size! They were steam or air operated and were used to move water from stream or tank to tank or a fire hose! That is what I have on my Fire Car.
