Thanks, Arnie:

Sorted the electrickery problem out, we had an insulation sleeve
rubbed through against an internal through-bolt, that took out the
generating side of things, and when we tried to start up again, we had
clouds of the magic smoke, as that cable was energised with 28V from
two 105AH batteries..... Nice juicy DC arc! No major damage and it was
up and running fairly quickly after we got back home.

We have also translated the Stationary Engine Forum Ruston rebuild
thread into a website series of pages, taking out the extraneous items
and comments along the way.

There is coverage of about 2 years work, with associated pictures that
cover everything we did up to July this year.

The new section is at the bottom of the existing Ruston 1ZHR menu:

http://www.stationary-engine.co.uk/Ruston1ZHR/RustonMenu.htm

It is only on Stationary-Engine.co.uk at present, I will copy it over
to the mirror site at Oldengine.org later.
