...it's a bit big, isn't it (said the actress to the bishop)!
  Despite all of the YouTube videos, it still came as something of a surprise at just how big these things are!
Today, I collected my SoM's from Lincolnshire (180 miles from home, using a borrowed 4-cyl truck which fired on between 2 & 3 cyls for most of the journey, across what passes in England for a mountain range (the Pennines - some resasonably sized hills to most people
), dragging 200kgs of trailer & over 1000kgs of engine, etc.
The good news is, I have 1 complete SoM unit, c/w engine with grooved flywheels, alternator, cast base, solenoid & control boxes; and a second SoM engine with part of the solenoid assy. I have an ex-army 7kva generator which I can put with the second engine; so I've got pretty much all the bits I need for 2 complete gensets. How happy am I? 5 pints happy..... but that's another story.
Photos tomorrow... when I'm a bit more sober, and it's daylight.
