SIMPSON STRICKLAND ENGINE 

Engine number 1183, date of manufacture 1892.

Details: 4” X 8” X 5” stroke, compound, shown in SS catalogue as Fig. 2 23 ihp at 150 psi.

 This beautiful engine is in original condition with all fittings including feed and air pumps.

It was originally purchased new from Simpson Strickland & Co Ltd. by a NZ steamer operator but had very little use before finishing up as a display engine at the Wanganui Technical College in 1902 until purchased by a collector.

The present owner purchased the engine in 1984 with the intention of placing it in a suitable hull, but this project never got off the ground and the engine remained grounded for occasional steamings.

 The owner is anxious to see this engine doing what it was designed for in an appropriate vessel. 

If interested or for further information please contact Geoff Atterton.  Tele (08) 9433 2325
