Hanley does have one though it is currently out of the boat and in the workshop

 

I assume we are talking just Single Bolinder Semi diesels here and not BM's?

 

Edit: and Dory

 

Edit again: Pelican has a single but not sure if it is a semi or full diesel. If it is a semi, it doesn't have a random firing governor.

 

And again: Adder too. I understand Bramble is having one put in but my info maybe out of date on that.

Not if I edit your post and remove the names

 

Sandbach is another.

[carlt]

Can't remember the name but it's a Dutch push tug.

Lily has got one.

 

Does Lamprey still?

 

Sandbach is a 1052 Bolinder Munktell not a Semi diesel - but not sure if we are including these.

 

If so then, Prince, Warbler, Brentford, Clover, Baron, France (soon), Birchills,

 

Can't remember the name but it's a Dutch push tug.

 

My mother was in the Netherlands recently and saw a few of these at one of the waterways festivals - she took lots of pics too so I will try and get some. If I could find (and afford) I would love to have one. Maybe a less smokey one!

TAY had a 1051 for a number of years, some vital bits went missing when the company overhauling it went bust.

It then had a little (10hp?) Seffle for a while, which was unsuccessful, now has a Bukh twin, about 30 bhp, whose designation escapes me despite the fact that I fitted it

I'm only aware of one other BUKH of the same model in a narrow boat.

Lamprey doesn't have a Bolinder anymore.

 

There's a Stewarts & Lloyds tug with one, can't remember its name?

 

Found it

 

[Speedwheel]

 

Nice little boat that!

 

Rudd to be addded to the list.

[Pluto]

What about the Grand Canal boats in Ireland? There must be some there. I can certainly remember the yard at Tullamore being full of Bollinder bits in the early 1980s.

[Speedwheel]

I believe only 4 of the Irish 'M' boats still retain their Bolinders. Can't remember which ones. Possibly M45 and M50 and one or two of the 70's - 79 possibly?

 

Which one did the three numpties use on TV?

Replying to myself and not really furthering the thread, but it's come back to me that the Bukh in the Tay is a 2G105, some specs at

Tug No.1

[JohnO]

Foxglove ?

[Paul H]

Foxglove ?

Yes although I'm not sure if it had a Bolinder originally - depends whether it actually entered service pre-nationalisation.

Another boat which I think we've missed is Jem Bates' Severn (T.Clayton).

Thought Severn had a Seffle?

The engine in 'Severn' is a Seffle isn't it ?

[JohnO]

definitely a 25hp semi-diesel Seffle.

 

edit to add here's DHutch video of Severn at Braunston, unfortunately Dan has edited the video removing the chaos caused by the cream coloured boat just disappearing to the left.
