Stationary Engines for the Enthusiast by David Edgington and Charles Hudson.
0riginally published in 1981 and jointly edited by David Edgington and Charles Hudson. This must rate as the book most purchased as a first for so many engine enthusiasts over the past 28 years. Many private stationary engine libraries have probably been founded on this book which has recently has its sixth reprint.
The authors had originally agreed that the fifth reprint would be the last but, since Charles Hudson's death, David Edgington felt that a sixth reprint with a suitable eulogy would be a fitting tribute to someone who was a friend to the whole stationary engine movement.
This book, the result of two years research, and especially written for the newcomer to the world of old engines, describes a variety of types and styles of engine by using mainly contemporary illustrations and explains the various principles of operation ranging from hot-tube to compression ignition.
As a designer and builder of small-guage locomotives David Curwen has a reputation second to none.

Quick drying zinc protective coating
Tygris R224 is a bright zinc and aluminium powder based spray used for the cosmetic finishing and protection of previously galvanised surfaces where the component has been cut or welded, thereby exposing metal to the air. Zinc is a sacrificial metal and will prevent oxidisation and corrosion. Resins in the coating cause it to bond firmly to the substrate.
Benefits:
- Zinc content assists in corrosion prevention
- Resistant to salt spray and weathering
- Excellent heat resistance
- Aluminium powder gives a brighter finish to help blend with existing coatings
- Can be used on previously coated surfaces
- High purity powders
- Excellent adhesion
- Quick drying
