Wessex Midsummer Vintage Show 2026 Stationary Engines

#lister #alamo #stationaryengine At the 2026 Wessex Midsummer Vintage Show, an impressive collection of stationary engines is on display, celebrating a proud history of engineering and industrial innovation. Standouts include the Alamo engine, built tough for farm work in the early 1900s, and the Nelson Brothers Little Jumbo — famous for being small but incredibly efficient. The Lister Dursley remains a true British workhorse, trusted for decades to power farms and small businesses. You’ll also find Stover’s Good Engine, a fine example of American design, and the pioneering R. Hornsby & Sons oil engine, one of the first reliable internal‑combustion types. Petter engines are here too — simple, durable, and used everywhere from pumps to mills. Other highlights include Wolseley, a leader in agricultural mechanisation; Fairbanks‑Morse, which helped bring power to rural communities; the lesser‑known but well‑built Amanco engines; and Wico engines, which supplied the ignition systems that kept so many old machines running smoothly.   #️⃣ HASHTAGS #WessexMidsummerShow #WessexVintageShow #StationaryEngines #VintageEngines #OldEngines #EngineRestoration #ListerEngine #PetterEngine #RustonHornsby #FairbanksMorse #AmancoEngine #AlamoEngine #NelsonBrothers #WolseleyEngine #StoverEngine #VintageMachinery #AgriculturalHistory #EngineeringHistory #SteamAndOil #WorkingEngines #HeritageEngineering #ClassicMachinery #CountryShow #2026Show
