roajeep Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Hi, A friend has this trailer and I am hoping someone can identify it and tell a bit more about this type. It does look so very British. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 It looks to be a 15Kva Lister powered generator, on its correct trailer, WW2 era and I have worked on a few in the 1970's, still in service with the army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangie Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Yes, Lister JP3 Generator, excellent bits of kit. Linked decompressors, these can start easily by the handle when the need be! Alec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally dugan Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) In 1982 one of these generators was used on the Falkland island to power the mobile bakery number 95 YM 93 the chassis were supplied by BROCKHOUSE TASKER and EAGLE and were from WW2 These generators were from the postwar allocated numbers 83 YM 45 to 99 YM 99 Edited August 11, 2023 by wally dugan amended to include allocated numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roajeep Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 Hi again, Here are a few more photos. There is still the original T sign on the rear. The frame at the front has the name Villiers Ltd or Villers Ltd etched on with a welding torch or similar. And the drawbar does still have the original dateplate. It is worn and not easy to read but I can see a number "TP 42628" and underneath "2 T. Gen". This trainer is located about 50km north of Oslo at a construction company aad is for sale. Approx GBP 1000 as is / where is. I know the seller. It is moveable but for transport would need a lowloader. If anyone in the UK (or elsewhere) is interested then drop me a line. Thanks.

roajeep Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 Had a closer look at the data plate and can just make out BROCKH so presumably Brockhouse of West Bromwich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
