    just over 2000 bhp each - so if you were in a hurry and all four were running you'd go through about 17,000 litres of diesel per 24 hrs approx ( if i remember rightly?!) ( thats for all 4, not each!)

    Barry, I think its still there,if not I heard they have some sort of Doxford which was moved recently into the most amazing museum outside Gateshead called Beamish.A fantastic place to spend a whole day.By the way Barry I liked working on the old Doxfords,real engineering at its best,pure sweat.......

    Spent 3 years at Shields doing my cadetship, never got to the museum in Gateshead, the Doxfords were certainly unique engines for sure
