![]() There are some good vintage auctions as a source of an engine too - you have just missed the most recent Cheffins one last weekend but worth a look at the results from, I think, Sale 4 as it will give a guide to what was around and how much it made. ![]() It will give you a feel for what's out there and the classifieds are a good price guide (and might even contain something you like the look of). ![]() I would definitely start by taking out a subscription to Stationary Engine. There was a very comprehensive 'how to' series on rebuilding them in Stationary Engine magazine in the late 1990s which is available through back-issues. The Lister D is a good introductory model, although personally I think it looks a bit boring. They come in a wide range of shapes and sizes - vertical, horizontal, open crank etc and everything from pick it up and carry it through to needing a specialist trailer to move it. I personally would get bored sitting watching it chuff away all day and at shows there does appear to be an expectation that this is what you will do. They are quite nice things to have and play with. Some general thoughts, from someone with a longstanding relationship with a Lister B.
