Full size “Ruston” oil engine.

[Maurice Cox 1Participant @mauricecox1]

Back in the early 1980"s, a Ruston and Hornsby airless injection oil engine was removed from the, then, G.P.O. repeater station at Taplow, on the A4 about 30 miles west of London. It was taken to a museum for preservation, and I believe it was successfully reassembled and got running. Can any one tell me where it is please? I have some documents that I believe would be of interest to the museum, and a tool that belongs with the engine. Any clues or information would be most welcome . Thanks in anticipation,

Cox

There are only two engine based museums in the uk and either one of them may know of its existence, Internal Fire Museum and The Anson Museum. **LINK** and **LINK** Both Curators are very helpful do you know the serial no's etc for the engine.

Thanks for that Martin. I can find the serial number but I don't have it to hand at the moment. I unstop it went somewhere in the region of Basingstoke, but I may have that wrong. It was quite a while ago. I Shall try to contact some of my old work colleagues who may recollect it. thanks again.

Coxy.
