Had a little conflab with Grinder today, told him what I\'d been working on at the weekend, and here for the benifit of everyone else who loves engines of any kind, I give you the Russel Newbury E4! :cool

The only other one of these we know of was the backup generator for Tower Bridge, it was removed some time ago and is now some where in the Heritidge system....

Last pic. We\'ve had it over 15 years, but had not run it since 1998, after about an hour of cleaning and freeing the injectors we got it going

LoL! That looks very similar to Guernsey power station, I watched those little diesels being installed, iirc you can stand u in the turbo inlet and not be able to touch the top....

Its a generator (50Kva) but we just have it for the sake of having it, for the joy of seeing it run and the way it makes the ground shake for 100m in every direction

Looks like something for a power station or an oil super tanker! Toally bonkers!
I saw a programme on Discovery a while ago about them building the huge super tankers, and to be able to put the engines together they had to dismantle the building that the bottom of it was built in and then lift it out and in to the hull of the ship. Then put the engine head on. It was just huge.

Doubt you\'d be able to get a head gasket for one of them at Halfords on a sunday afternoon :rollin
