Stationary Engine
|December 2017
Over a period of two weeks during August, my wife Lynne and I, as representatives of the Sussex & Kent Weald Stationary Engine Group, attended two events in Kent.
The first of these was our annual show at the Kent & East Sussex Railway’s headquarters at Tenterden, with some 15 engines on display over the weekend.
The stationary engine display was complemented by a number of vintage vehicles and steam engines. There was also an intensive timetable of trains on the Kent & East Sussex Line, which was greatly appreciated by one and all.
The rebuilt Lister D type belonging to Peter Jones ran faultlessly throughout the weekend, while Pierono Mastracola was sent to sleep by the rhythmic action and sounds of his 1910 IHC Famous pumping unit. There has been an influx of Fowler engines at our shows recently, this time it was Pat Payne with a 1PA.

Lister Conundrum?
Back in 2016 a discussion took place on Fozzer’s Forum about early Lister J type engines; as I have a very early Lister 2 ½ hp, I was interested and took part in the discussion. I have always had an interest in Lister engines, having nine in my shed, all of which are restored, except a spec 52 Lister A. I had never delved into the history of these engines as I considered that just about everything was known about them, through the work done by the late David Edgington, and information is readily available.

Coventry Victor Stationary/Marine Engines
Following a comment in the January edition of Stationary Engine, that Coventry Victor engines were rarely seen on our rally fields and as I have a liking for these engines (and flat twins), I have put together a short article based on my three examples.

Turner Manufacturing Co- Simplicity Engines
Having seen the little vertical Simplicity engine on the front cover of the October 2017 issue of Stationary Engine, where the name Western Malleable & Gray Iron Company, Milwaukee cast into the flywheel rim, is clearly legible, I decided the manufacturer required further investigation

Petter Standard Oil Engine
I am sure that the Petter Handyman engine will be a familiar sight to many engine enthusiasts, but the same cannot be said for the ‘Petter Standard Oil Engine’; the engine on which the Handyman engine was designed.
