Alco Feather Weight Engine

Recommended Posts

Morning all, I'm selling this engine for my friend Pete.

It's a Alco Feather Weight. engine no 957.

 

I can't tell you much about it other than Pete has had it for many many years and it was last started about 20 years ago!

 

Pete thinks this engine was used as a generator engine in a Lancaster Bomber!

 

What you see is what you get, the engine does turn over on the handle and should start again with a little tinkering..

 

PM me if your interested..

 

Collection from Hawkhurst, Kent
