Ref the FR1 generating sets, obviously another ebay seller with no moral scruples, as he has pulled this item of ebay even when it had bids on it (186 GBP when I last looked)

How's this for a crazy Lister...?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lister-Blackstone-Ev4-/181744433064?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a50cff7a8

I think that's too big even for my desires...
Cheers!

I used to run two 8 cylinder version ERS which was like two of these end to end and they even made a 16 which was two parallel blocks connected by gears on the crankshfts and a single output shaft. Now that is BIG. I spent a lot of time valve grinding!

 One of my err,  larger engines is a Mirlees Blackstone  ES4 which is a later incarnation of the EV4, it sports a Napier turbocharger, twin starter motors and puts out 330 hp at 750 RPM, it weighs 6 1/2 tons.     It`s easy to see why these lumps are consigned to the scrapheap, I`m told they can make a 100` boat shake although this one was driving a 240 KVA alternator.
