Yes and there is a lot to learn, I suggest you find a book on the subject. One I have, Scale model steam boats by Philip Vaughan Williams. it should be available your side of the pond. You will also have to find a supplier for the valves, pipe & connectors. I use Polly Model Engineering. ( in U.K.) I did install one off my steam boats with a pump, but have removed it, The problem being I have not found a reliable means of automatic control. I now hand pump after 20 minutes running if I wish to continue sailing. The photo shows the set up. Black arrow, bypass valve, silicone flow & return pipes. Purple arrow the pump. Blue arrow is the clack this is horizontal, but I had to fit a stop valve Yellow arrow. The ball wouldn't rest on the seat in the clack until there was pressure in the boiler. Worked a lot better vertical with the supply at the bottom.

Thanks for your response. I am very green on the field of steam boilers and engines, but eager to learn. The motor is a 2V oscillating cylinders. I bought these on eBay and is from China. Hope that this information can help you in response to my question.
Best regards,
Luis

Not much information as to what pump or what engine? But you will need a clack valve ( non return valve ) fitted in a bush on the end of the boiler. Between this & the pump a bypass valve to return excess water back to the water tank.
