they need to restore these diesels and move them to a new home where they can be started every once in a while! they are a part of the heritage of Crossness Pumping Station too!
Enjoyed your video, looks a great place to visit, I think the bit on the end of the engine is the fuel injecter pump, incidentally were the brick office's built as bomb shelters, they could duck in if there was a raid
@alltransman50: I think you are correct, that location is a characteristic of Crossley Bros engines. I can count 6 pipes resembling injector pipes and the engines are 6-cylinder units (counting the crankcase doors). There’s also the remains of a bundle of much smaller gauge tubing there too, I believe those to be lubricator pipes running to various locations on the engines. Crossley engines typically mount a separate lube pump unit next to the injection pump
@@RB-qq1ky thanks for the reply, out of curiosity, if you look at D 5705 on you tube, they are refurbishing a British railways locomotive that was fitted with a crossley diesel engine, on some of the videos the engine has been stripped, I believe it was two stroke diesel, might be of interest to you
Great place you have there looks like could spend time looking around there. Is that an old air raid siren on top of the office?? I also agree the brick buildings look almost fortified from the air raids, thanks for sharing

Crosness pumping station is on my bucket list. So impressive.

That is the same thing I was thinking they should restore those engines instead of letting them continue to rot!!!!!!

Another great vid bruv!
That place is great, make a great location for a steampunk movie!!!
Great view mate! Is that big pipe still carrying sewage? If it is, can you hear it flowing?
