[SEL] ENGINE DATES

[peter ogborne]

Kevin ,re the Ruston Hornsby SPB...........I have a list that was originaly 
compiled by Pat O'Brien who was the register for these engines .The current 
register I think is Tom Linguard .Tom used to reside in WA but I have no 
idea where he now lives...some one will know.

Pat believed that engine numbering started at number 501 but he gives no 
dates.
My list starts at No 521and goes through to S1387.It does not run 
concurrently and there are quite a lot of gaps.Those listed are complete 
with the owner and state of restoration at the time.
As a matter of interest my engine is S670 .I know the owner who passed it on 
to me and he has given me the full background history .It is interesting as 
it came from and old homestead in the Fitzgerald River National Park ,spent 
some time at Bremmer Bay and finally made it back to Qualup ,then to 
Kendernup and then to me in Albany.
Apparently there is a story in TOMMS Number 22 ,April 89 which may help you.
