Super Nice one there Gil, very much reminds me of the Solar Engines of Phoenix Arizona #5, a vertical with twin (red) flywheels and a steep pyramidal firebox base.

I recently scored one on evilbay and it arrive just yesterday, coincidently!

While of the same general layout as your amazing Heinrici, the Solar #5 has no pumping feature, but I imagine the model was originally inspired by real engines that did!?!?
