STW New Machine

The new machine is arriving today, this machine is slightly bigger than our older ones which will be helpful when we come to manufacture our new 6" Burrell. Work has already begun and we have cleared a large space for the machine to be moved in to the factory.

IT'S HERE!!!!!!!! The new machine has arrived safe and sound and work has begun to off load the machine.

The Old machine is moved outside to make way for the new machine to come in.

The new machine was then lifted off the truck and push into the factory before the final assembly

Once the machine was in place we were able to put a few smaller parts on for the final assembly.

Time for another caption competition guys.

Who said it was a tight fit. I could drive a bus through there!

In the machine goes.

To me , to you, to me , to you

Will,

Did I read that right, 6" Burrell, after all these years of me hassling Dean my dream has been answered?

What type of engine?

I best finish the one that I have first though.

Cheers

Richard.

Hi Richard

Yes, we are finally diving into the realms of 6" Burrells!! It will be a 6" version of our 4" agricultural (because we know the agricultural so well, we feel that without Steve to cast his eyes over the drawings, it is the safest engine for us to do). I have even started the process of scaling up the 4" agricultural's 3D model on the computer.

Thanks

I'm surprised you're going for a 6". A couple of weeks ago you said that the 6" Devonshire died a death 'cos the price would have been around £50k. Do you reckon the 6" Burrell will be significantly cheaper than that, or have people got more money now?
I'd still be interested, but probably might not be able to justify that kind of money.

To be honest Stu, until we dive in and try it we simply don't know, and we already have 4 others who are definitely planning on signing up, and just now in the office a visiting customer said he would be interested in it but needs to work out the logistics. We also regularly get people phoning up inquiring about the Devonshire with a view to having one. 6 inch engines are becoming more and more popular, so really we need to look at doing a 6 inch Burrell. We will have to wait and see if it comes off in the long run and if we get enough customers. Me and Dean are currently working with the people we get most of our castings from to start nailing down the kit prices.

Thanks
