[SEL] Sulzer Blast Injection First Run

[Paul Evans]

The 1912 Sulzer D series diesel ran for the first time at the museum on Easter Monday. We managed 3
runs during the day with the engine running well but not yet maintaing blast pressure very well. A
bit of fettling on the compressor should sort that.

This was the first time the engine had run since 1936.

Bit of a clip below.

Not brilliant quality but you get the idea.

Thanks to all those who helped with this project, both practical support and encouragement.
