We have in mind a &#8216;Loncin &#8216; ,which is a direct replacement for the Honda, that, all being well should fit, and with an electric start will make life easier, but it has to be said the engine has performed really well and usually starts first or second pull. This will also give us the opportunity to thoroughly check and overhaul all the various parts with a repaint as necessary. The loco is a credit to its builder, Edwin Peck whose skill and ingenuity in building the loco still amazes us!<\/em><\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-210 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/9thOctengineless-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/9thOctengineless-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/9thOctengineless-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/9thOctengineless-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/9thOctengineless-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/9thOctengineless-1152x2048.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/9thOctengineless-scaled.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><em>We have also been doing some more work in the station area to make it more open and accessible.<\/em><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Keith and Peter lifting the &#8216;Honda^\u00a0 out On Saturday we started to dismantle the Shay with a view to replacing the Honda engine which is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=208"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":217,"href":"https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208\/revisions\/217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evfr.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
