Gooday Engine People, Joined these forums for the mowers - lol Didn't realise we had engines on here too. Over the years I have owned about 200 stationary engines - still have about thirty that have not been started for some time at our local museum. In the shed here at home I have (in various stages of restoration - or lack of it) a Felix c 1913, a Ferro c1908, small 32v Delco lighting plant and a sick 110v one as well. A pre 1920 5hp Fuller & Johnson in parts on a pallet, c1911 Westinghouse 1.75hp side shaft once run on gas in England, 4hp Jelbart (teens), and some others. Used to write for the Australian magazine (The Old Machinery Mart or T.O.M.M.) until 2000 when I had a ticker attack. Nowadays the engines are too heavy and I have ventured into collecting other things in my dotage.
I will endeavour to place a few photographs of the engines here from time to time. Will be leaving for West Australia in a couple of weeks to view the National Historic Machinery Association's rally south of Perth - and should have some nice pics from that later.
