Royal Arsenal Narrow Gauge (RANG) Railway Crowdfunding video
Just a taste of the work being done by the RANG railway volunteers at Crossness Pumping station. An iconic piece of Victorian engineering, the Pumping Station was opened in 1865 and dealt with the sewage from South London until it ceased being used in the 1950's and fell into disrepair. It was saved from possible demolition in the 1980's and since then it is being lovingly restored by an enthusiastic team of volunteers. The RANG project team hope to provide easy access to the site for visitors by installing a narrow gauge railway operating both diesel and, hopefully, steam locomotives. Work is well underway but funding is of prime importance for materials and machinery to make the project...

1945 Lister D-type. Restored by myself. Restoration completed 2009. It is a 2hp model running at 1000 RPM. The trolly is built from oak and is loosly based on the original Lister trolly. The engine was in a very rusty condition when aquired. It has been totally stripped and rebuilt with some new parts, some remade parts but mostly restored original parts. It is finished with zinc primer and 6 c...

    I had one of these back in the seventies, mine was green and in the West Midlands, near Coventry. I've often wondered what happened to it! My plan was to swap out the engine for either the Suzuki 380 or 550 two stroke. Because like the Excelsior, it was a dynastart, which meant I had to stop the engine flick a switch to reverse polarity and restart for reverse gear lol. I also owned several Reliants (vans & cars) and a Ranger Cub Mini kit car, THAT WAS FUN.

    What do the initial boilers and pistons do? Are they building up speed in the main flywheel? If so, how do they adjust to the high speed of the flywheel after it speeds up?

    You need to lose the pin striping, motor meter and chrome rad emblem to make the car correct. There appears to be some sort of gauge on the left side of the dash. Incorrect for sure. Hopefully the owner can fix these problems.

    I wish I could come in my '85 Rialto. But, she is currently in Essex, and is actually leaving the UK to go to a safe haven for Reliants: the U.S. (no haters and no breakers). This time next year, she will be cruising on the other side of the road bearing American plates, never again to be called a "plastic pig".

    This is a fascinating bit of footage of a Victorian Wonder that surely deserves proper preservation there can be few more impressive surviving examples Victorian engineering in Newham. A I understand it the nearby lovely Abbey Mills Pumping station has long had it inner workings removed. I pass by these wonderful places most days whilst walking my little Bichon Frise buddy Snowie,and have shared my knowledge of Abbey Mills with numerous passers by curious about that remarkable building
