Ruston AP engine

Get in, thats one of mine!!!!

lovely condtion, do you know of any history

This engine left Ruston Hornsby’s London Road works in September 1925. The engine was bought by Buchanan & Curwen, of Victoria Street, London for £60. The firm of electrical contractors was formed in 1895 and still survives today. The engine was sent to one of its regional office’s in Leatherhead Surrey to work as a generator in a local country house. The engine later returned to the Grantham works and was replaced by a 8hp model. It was overhauled by Ruston Hornsby and is shown in the company ledger as being re-sold in 1926 to un-recorded customer. In preservation since 1972, this engine has been completely re-built to factory condition.
