When the weather gets better (when!) I’ll get a good look at the plates on the engine.

It will be a long time until I get to that stage but thank you for the info John

That’s amazing thank you.

Hi John1950 the engine is Diesel in this machine, the chaps over in Ireland at the aviation museum have the same machine and have kindly sent me photos of the engine dougie

Hi Radiomike7 yes that’s the very machine. dougie

Hi John there are some gaskets with the engine.

Hi John on the six pallets are all the engine parts to rebuild, I like a challenge, I’m trying to find the history of why the engine was stripped to every nut and bolt, as you say buying a running engine might be cheaper but where’s the fun in that.

Hi John the engine came on six pallets, I’ll take some pictures this week of the engine block.

It has a six cylinder engine driving a generator which drives electric motors with wire rope.

Hi The Solway Aviation Museum have been donated an Amazon Thorneycroft Coles Crane, we are looking for any Manuals PDF or paper would be fantastic. Thank you Dougie.
