I presume they should, for preference, be drained of oil before being loaded? Any objection if I send the oil I extract to Spencer for his amusement? :laugh: :police:LOL I miss ol' Spencer. I hope he is doing well.
Of course the British seem so proper and well-mannered.
What are Baf, CAF & AMS? I don't see them defined anywhere, just curious.
Insufficient capacity in the scale!!! :o

Why is the 6/1 SOM more weight than the 8/1 SOM ????? ???.
Potter
Wow 200lb plus ;D piston
I think I can find a source of free pallets too, if someone can clarify the wood fumigation requirements.

The skids would need to the the IPPC markings (pine tree sprig plus other letter or numbers). Read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISPM_15
If the pallets are so marked (certifying heat treatment and fumigation) then you are good to go. Most newer pallets are compliant, just look for the marks.
Ade:
You can buy the stillages for far less than you can have them made, we were paying about £10 per stillage for ones big enough to take almost any Lister engine, all we did was to revise the bottom two cross-members so that they matched the bolt hole widths on the engines, then we just drilled holes and bolted the engines in.
The ones I have in mind were stackable as well.....
I've got some pictures somewhere, I'll have a look tonight.
The plastics and window industries use longer versions of these for transporting extrusions.
We are investigating dropping and offloading the container in Houston (near the port)... a difficult unload will not be too welcome there, and neither is the concept of welding onto a container we do not own. The idea of bolting to the floor is excellent and workable if the container owner doesn't mind. I have hauled gensets this way before with bolts down to the floor - very stable.

deeiche,Wow, what an offer.
I talked to one of our Polish friends. We need to know where in Poland your engine is so that we can see if they can help.

I do not have a specific engine, but I've seen this SILNIK S320 S 320 S-18 ESIOK ES ANDORIA ANDRYCHÓW (http://allegro.pl/silnik-s320-s-320-s-18-esiok-es-andoria-andrychow-i1965351919.html) posted several times. It is located in Końskie. I think if I knew what region your friends were located I could try finding an engine for sale in their area.deeiche,Wow, what an offer.

I can't look at polish websites from work, but when I get home I'll find the item on allegro.pl I am looking at.
thanks again
Wow!!! the one with two engines is only about $330 USD !!!I think that is per engine, but still qty 1 price is pretty good.

This one, Stationary engine Andoria S320 2 pieces (http://allegro.pl/show_item.php?item=1985544596) showed up today. It is located in Kuyavian-Pomeranian province.
If anything my knowledge of Poland is improving. :)
again, thank you
There is still ample room in this load.
We are consolidating at Mark Wilkinson's. <<edit- please contact me directly for the address>>
I will pass his other information privately because he has not confirmed 100% to manage all requests and possible convolutions at this time. We are doing our best to contain costs to a minimum. You may pass any requests or details to me - gary@dieselgen.com

Wow!!! the one with two engines is only about $330 USD !!!This one (http://allegro.pl/show_item.php?item=1998881389) was relisted. With the Zloty getting hammered lately the BIN is < $300.
My friends couldn't find anybody in the area they knew that would help. Sorry. :-\
Anyone know somebody in Poland?
If I could find someone to act as a go between with one of the Polish Andoria diesel sales I'd get one of those to England. However without a direct contact in Poland I'm struggling.

We still seem to be stuck on the stuff stored in Blackpool... not certain how to sort that out without someone going there and confirming who owns what - so that it may be released and transferred to our new staging area.
Thanks Ade... that might help us get this rolling again. Exact details and coordination with the gatekeeper there would surely help us understand the rest of the issues. You are now bringing in new names that I have never heard before (i.e. Liz). It sure would be nice for someone to have and share 100% of the details!!! ::)Isn't "Liz", AKA DrDeath, one of the originals trying to get stuff shipped from England? If so he seems to have dropped off the board.
Much appreciated!

My wife has always wanted to attend Wimbledon. And I'm interested in the canal boats. How about planning a group visit for late next June. 15 or 20 half drunk pissed off Yanks might just do the trick. OK, I'm almost 70 but I can still fart really bad use words like "shazamm".Hi you 15 or 20 pissed off Yank`s , we`re shakin in our boots over here, even with our world class farting team...... I have obtained some steel stillages which will hold 1 CS single or 1 FR1, these require a little modification to enable the engines to be bolted down. The SOM sets and FR2 set will require something larger or even bolt some angle iron to the undersides to enable FLT handling, I will email Gary and enclose some photos of the stillages with a couple of my engines bolted on, for some reason I can`t seem to put them onto my gallery or attach photos to this post.
It's when I'm joking you know I'm at my most serious.

i don't think there are any bug issues with tires, like there would be with wood?

700 British pounds sterling = 1114.1900 US dollarsJeff, I am charging you zilch for holding your engines, the 700 GBP was quoted for moving 12 engines as I understood at the time. Just to put things in perspective, what do you think are my chances of hiring two men in the US to drive 93 miles on choked up roads, hump 4 lister engines onto a trailer drive 93 miles back, unload them and do this 3 times for 1114.1900 USD ? A rocket scientist would probably say that even with your low fuel prices I might stand more chance of flying to Mars. Any costs thus far are not of my making and please bear in mind that Gary and myself are picking up the pieces of a fragmented buying spree.
For holding 2 of my engines and one of Bret Schwartz
Here go the fees :-\
Just need to know how much is my part of them??
Thanks Jeff
Sorry MarkNo problem Jeff, one of the things that I have learned through a couple of trips to the US and conversing with Americans is that while we share a language semantics differ, this can often lead to misunderstandings (which you don`t want when taking afternoon tea with badass gunslinging dudes from the wild west ;D) .
As you will note from all my previous post.It was my understanding that there only 3 or 4 engines that had to make this 93 mile trip from Blackpool,
I see now that you have your work cut out for you making 3 trips
As my kids say MY BAD!
Cheers
YOU JUST MADE MY DAY!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
The second picture with the heavy flywheels is mine.
Thanks for posting that picture!!!!

As far as I know, all engines are spoken for. We will fill out the container if any space or weight margin is left over.
It will be helpful for us if all owners will contact me with their full details at this time so that we have a very firm handle on what is to be done with all involved engines from here forward.

Gary and I get to split the Twin ::)
Ade ,you had a good look at my engines,if you would or could tell me if I need to add some parts to the BOX so I can make my engines runners?
Cheers Jeff
Lisenby had several, but they have either not shown up or I simply do not know all of those kinds of details at this time... there is enough weirdness to this whole transaction to give anyone second thoughts.
What I do know: the actual total costs are going to be dramatically different (higher) than what was originally promised, some folks have lost their investments due to the protracted and convoluted entanglements that have ensued. This includes myself unfortunately. We will endeavor to keep the remainder of this transaction as simple and low in total cost and free of further risk as is practical.
Our process at this time is simply, round up everything we can find, identify it by serial number and assign it to its rightful owner, assess total costs and apportion according to volume and weight.
Get the container stuffed and shipped to America as soon as we can manage it. We are almost at the stage of getting our load manifest and export paperwork put together now.

I don't have a horse in this race but from the grandstands I have to say, what you've accomplished so far is above and beyond what anyone else was able to accomplish.
If you had control of this process from beginning to end are you considering doing something like this again? You probably have the best understanding on what it would take to make it a profitable business venture.
3 days with a crowbar and some castors? a bit over equipped I think, 3 days is what happens when a 6`6" computer programmer tries to do a mans job ;D ::) . All this batch are from your storage delivered to me by semi trailer with mounted crane.
Jeff, I know Ade would have had a struggle, just arriving at Quarnford merits a medal also I know he has a sense of humour (British) so even though the joke may be lost on you I`m sure he had a chuckle.
All of those last 3 look familar; I think the fishy one is the first one (if it is screwed to a pallet). Mark should be able to confirm the fishiness...
That would be the one that my pet sealion sleeps with ;D. These 3 engines were from you Ade and have been removed from any pallets and bolted down to stillages
And if so were did we get it from .I seem to have lost track of one 1 engine if you are sure you delivered 7 to Mark that were mine
Thanks
SNIPYou get a bit of snow in Kansas? ;D
I am personally stretched pretty thin, but returning from Alaska next week and can sit down with the paperwork then... as soon as those Midwest blizzards go away and flights are operating normally. :o
dieselgman
Is the container on the boat?
Casey
There was no CE included in the shipment.
dieselgman
.. There is also a pressure cooker here for Mike Lisenby...
^ So no twin cylinder Lister CS engines then? Is this due to their been no demand, or because it was not possible to locate any in the UK for export?
