Kens' Engine Pictures
The main aim of this site was to show in pictorial form, the re-build of a tank cooled Lister 'A' that was purchased as a bag of bits (basket case) and the problems encountered getting a Bentall Pioneer running that had been laid up for a good long time. Not very good video of it running here (11.2 mb) had a lot of problems with the sun. It has since been connected up to a mill (and video).
New 2009
Next thing I 'rescued' was a metal hand cart with a Lister 'B' and sludge pump mounted on it, made by Lee Howl.
Not everyone in this 'game' is honest!, Novel bearing material.
All the HTML came straight out of a book, nothing elegant, for example all the text seems to be a heading but I'm too lazy to change it and it works 'OK'.
Tested on IE and Opera browsers.

A link to a picture showing the flyer that comes with stuff ordered from Frank Gelder
"Franks Tanks". He tells me the list is by no means exhaustive, you need to phone really; by the way he doesn't do E-mail or Text. If it's a stainless steel exhaust pot you want "Stan the Man" will sort you out. No, these are not my dad/brother/uncle, nothing to do with me - just found they did some handy bits.
And I've used these people "Bristol Foundry" they are in the back of Stationary Engine magazine. New bearings for the pump came from "Fiveways Belts & Bearings", they said 'we get a lot of the vintage boys in here'.
