Thames Lorry Engine Diesel Generator
Up on a farm in the northeast of England is this inline-6-cylinder Diesel “Simms” engine which originally came from a circa 1950s/1960s Thames Trader lorry (built by Ford Of England). The engine (still wearing its original paint), complete with radiator has been attached to steel frame rails, and is combined with an auxiliary generator device, including a retrofit control panel off a more modern industrial unit. This device is still in very sound running condition and is used as an external on-site agricultural power generator on this farm.
It is fascinating to find 60+ year-old machines such as this engine still working in this day-and-age. No doubt this piece will continue to earn its keep for several years still to come.
