  • i hear the oil cooled doxfords were tolerable.............unfortun­ately I only worked on water cooled ones. When the seals on the telescopics went it was inside into the heat

  • Quite a bitch to do maintenance on i hear.

    By opposed pistoned engine, i mean like those Fairbanks-Morse type engine with two pistons per cylinder, two crankshafts joined by a gear and no heads or valvetrain, and the inlet/exhaust is done by slots in the cylinder liner..

  • Exhaust piston, or upper piston, whichever name you like.

    And wot does an opposed piston engine look like to you?

    Trust me, that's an opposed piston engine, and if you're unfamiliar with it, you're VERY lucky.

  • I believe the Anson engine museum in Poynton are trying to aquire this enginefor their collection , chuck a few pounds to help their way to help them , i have .

    Also give them a visit , some real nice engines there & no I am not involved with them , I just enjoy what they have done

  • I believe this engine was installed at South Tyneside College but has now been moved to a museum so the college can demolish the building.

  • What a pity - another of the last vestiges of the great iron-industrial age gone forever. So much human endeavor reduced to so much pig iron scrap.

  • "Mak'in Money, Mak'in Money" was the old Ford ore boat chant....(Doxford powered)

  • "Exhaustpiston" LOL

  • Isn't it the exhaustpiston you see? Doesn't look like a opposed piston engine to me...

  • Thankyou russellkeb for responses, enjoyed your Seahorse clip (rare bit of footage!)Pity it all eventually went belly up when Doxfords finished.
