Both engines are Ruston & Hornsby Lincoln, but the driven ends are both Mawdsley, Dursley, Gloucs.

The vertical diesel is a 1YB dynamometer set, supplied new in 1959 to Huddersfield Education Committee, the horizontal is a Ruston 1ZHR with a Lister Start-O-Matic alternator/starter, this was made by Mawdsleys as well. The engine came out of Abingdon Technical College.
