mike dennis Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hello JP I have my albums here under Mike Dennis & Doctor Cheapo - so you can see what I get up to - and I'm also a member of Rust Bucket - The New Zealand Meccano Federation's Forum. ---If you are a Meccano enthusiast or want to return to the hobby you would be welcome to join us. http://www.nzmeccano.com/image-30750&frompage=2 I returned to it in 1991 and **in my opinion as an engineer in real life as well as a model engineer ** - since Spin Master bought the company a few years ago all the Plastic stuff they produce today & one model sets are a like toys and crap ideas so it is looking more like Lego - You will see however, some interesting models, sets, Manuals, history and loads of other information.

I would like to say that the lifting I have done was all on a none commercial basis. It was a private lift for a friend on his private locomotive. No money changed hands and it was nothing at all to do with the company I work for. Class 50 rads, fitted and roof going back on, with rad fan to be fitted later. Apologies for raking up the past; I have come late to this thread. Would that Class 50 be "Thunderer" by any chance?

By any chance was that Bob Oliver's (High Etherley) along with his hinged manual extension ? It was still working circa. 1985+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanW Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Anyone out there know if the Cole Cranes used any engines that had SL5 type starter motors and, if so, what engine was it? I have a starter that is supposed to have been for a Cole Crane but can't find anything on the net to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanW Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Think you could be right. This image from a Perkins SL5 on an Ebay listing, has the nose piece fitted 90 degrees round but also has a different number of teeth. Apart from that it does look identical. Presumably just affects access to the cable terminals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wally dugan Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 the CAV SL5 starter motor was fitted to a number of GARDNER engines as well as fitted to a number of other makers engines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could relate to the Coles 23/25 Hydra Husky crane. The army had Hydra Husky cranes at on time, but I don't think they were 23/25 models and they were fitted with an AEC 505 engine.

IanW Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 From an AEC AV505 manual. Thanks for the pointer Richard. Time to get it listed on eBay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
