MORE new engines arriving soon....??????????

HI ALL....
found these to day in a pig shed in DORSET....
so looks like they should be arriving soon.....
both are sized solid,just the way i like them,more of a challenge..
my eldest son put me on to them,as hes getting into them now and i think he wants the LISTER....
kids cost me to much money,oh well enjoy it while i still can....






sorry for the pics being up the wrong way,but my son took them...
regards,mike...

You starting up a museum Mike??

That Lister A looks like a nice project!!



regards

mart.

Very nice find Mike, the Lister A should be an easy project not sure on the other being so easy to sort out.

STU..
got nothing else to do so will be something to do...
my boy mite keep the Lister for himself...I'm keeping the IMC/Mccormick myself..
like i said i will keep you posted mate..
regards,mike...

you need to have a word with his lordship and get a museum started lol , that's a nice little McCormick there something i wouldn't mind

its strange how things work out,i was trying to buy one in the states a few months back,but couldn't sort the crating and shipping out,due to the VAT..
then my eldest tells me of these 2..well how strange is that,and its on my door step so to speak..
as for his lordship,hes got no room left now....
when you have finished your shed Matt,perhaps i can put them in your shed...
we could have a museum in swindon mate...
regards,mike..

Mike great find after looking in the States for one.

Mike you'll just have to see if you can get a lock up cheap, or another thing to look at is around here theres a lot of storage places opening up using old shipping containers, takes a few engines to fill a 40 footer and you could always build another deck for the lighter stuff and see about a girder down the middle with a block and tackle to lift them up and slide them out. Don't how much to hirer but don't think it will be that much as people use them for furniture, old cars etc.

Stu.

Nice look find there that man like I have said before life funny you have been looking for one of these for ages
I must pop down and catch up

what about his lordships swindon premises

as far as i know its jammed to the rafters mate...

regards,mike...

needs to have a sort out and a extension

think its a listed building...

Mike in this area there is storage places setting up using old shipping containers there not to expensive and you can get a few engines in a 40 footer, maybe worth a few phone calls to check out prices if you can find any local.

Stu.

sounds like the ideal job for me..will have a look on titer net and see what comes up
can you get me a phone number to see if they do them any were else..
regards,mike...

I'll have a look Mike, might be an idea if someone that has some land near you as the containers are great for storage and not that expensive to buy.
Here is the sort of thing I'm on about but this is the North East, I could get a container 8x30 feet for £17 a week not to bad if you could get someone to share it or you could get smaller one and it be cheaper.

Hi Mike, I have some paperwork for the M type somewhere...manual,parts list etc. let me know.

Spares are easy ..Hit n Miss.

Google John Hamminik for his excellent web site, John is no longer with us sadly but his site is,lots of information there.

Worse bloody engine I ever had!!!!!! Spent a fortune on it,it now resides in Newcastle with a decent guy.

Easy to work on though and a pleasent machine when working as they should. Bill.

thanks for that information bill,i was wondering if there was a site for them..
once Ive sorted the deal with the feller,then i can see whats what..
regards,mike..

looks like i mite have been out bid on these engines..some one has also found them and gone in and offered more money...well gutted..
the feller has just phoned me to give me the good news,or hes trying to get more money out of me...
i will have to leave it for now and see if there is someone else interested or hes telling porkies...
regards,mike..

Yip could be after more money see if he comes back if not there's plenty more out there.

Stu.

regards,mike..
