[Bevoin1970]

Looks and sounds good, I do like that dynamo.. :-)

[steamwally]

Cheers, a dynamo like that would go well with your Lister Diesel.

Good stuff Mate!! I just had a chance to buy a real nice WX11 at an auction but wasn't sure what it was worth!! they're pretty rare over here. I made a video of it and will post it soon!!☺

[steamwally]

Cheers! Well they sell for between £200-£300 on average but I should think a lot more on your side of the pond, very nice engines and if you can get it, don't hesitate!

[805ROADKING]

@steamwally I should have bought it, nobody knows anything about them over here!! It sold for $250 US. that's about 159 quid eh!!☺

[steamwally]

Well thats about what I got mine for, and that was cheap by the standards of these things!

You never know, another will no doubt turn up now....

If you turn the dynamo pulley down a bit,you will increase its revs a little without needing to rev the engine more.

[steamwally]

Well I do need to keep the engine reving or it will bog down on load, these engines were meant to run at 1000rpm+ and need to be somewhere near to work well, especialy on a dynamo!

[steamwally]

Cheers!

[MrSiner09]

You really do have a cracker of an engine there!! :)

[steamwally]

Nice ain't she :)

I think the dynamo would look good painted in the colours of the Villiers (green body with red at the end with the pulley).

[steamwally]

Well if I repaint the lot then I expect the engine will be a very dark green or a black, the dynamo would be black as thats the colour it was originaly.

Very nice phil. nice set!

[steamwally]

Cheers :)
