When they where running these machines let running in the Wilton Fijenoord factory it was not allowed to do chirugerie in the hospital near by the Wilton Fijenoord shipyard because you could feel it in the hospital and surrounding of the shipyard! For my Wilton Fijenoord museum I picked up the Doxford model which was made by the Wilton Fijenoord school and was missing for 22 years! 🙂🎉🎊

The shipping company I worked for had a few of these - mainly LB Doxfords. Biggest hassles were the 6,000 psi constant pressure fuel system, which was a real bugger to keep leak free, and the scavenge air pistons.

What is the pipe stuff flapping around on side ?

Those cooling hoses …

Hope bay, 1986

Hej! Zou ik deze video kunnen gebruiken voor mijn youtube kanaal? Ik deel alles over de zeevaart. Van vrachtschepen uit 1960 tot nu, olieboor platformen, vissersboten, binnenvaart etc. Natuurlijk geef ik credits naar de eigenaar van dit beeldmateriaal. Ik kijk uit naar je antwoord. Groeten

Ex Port Line engineer….still wish I was back there…..Doxfords….some Port Line ships had 2….aaaaaahhhj.

Why?

As an engineer on these six leg Doxfords, they worked well but by todays technology a bit too large and outdated,, good fun though and the sound was like music, mv Baharistan, mv Turkistan, Strick line uk

Those damn cooling hoses...

Thanks..👍🙏🙏

Jnr,engineer on mv Baharistan and mv Turkistan with Doxford engines,magic!

Hello Alfons...i 'm late. I hope you are alaways there. My father seaman chief enginer made me a lot travels on cargos ships. I remember those engines. The sound and the oil/fuel smell are alaways in my mind. I am so sad that the big company had sold all the ships. in principle I should have continued the life on cargos too...

Incredible ! Thank you - thank you for posting that. I was a kid when my father, chief enginer, were with our familly on board this vessel for travels. I still remembered the rocking of the provence doxford and its breathing at start and stop engine. For me tonight it's a miracle to see this home engine again...

completely mysterious. Don't even know what I'm looking at.

Thankyou for posting sir

In de Kali Mati , Tandjong Priok bij Djakarta.

wow . . . . . mooie herrinneringen van mijn dienst aan boord , Thanks Ferdinand Mager 3thwtk

one of those needlessly complicated, expensive, unreliabledesign that killed British engineering.

Ik heb als 3de Werktuigkundige op een zusterschip hiervan gevaren het "MS BAUD"

souvenirs de jeunesse

Working in the crankcase when the engine is running???

I too did my time with the NZSCo and I am proud if it. I loved our Doxford Up and Downers and we used to have competitions to see who can change cooling elbows at the highest speed, the engines running if I recal at 106 RPM. Not only that but we would work inside a crank case while the engine was running. If you blew a relief valve on starting (maneuvers) it was case of beers every time. Great engines. Great days (Otaio, Huntingdon, Hertford, Hurunui, Piako, Cumberland and others.

op dit schip gewerkt vanaf 1968 (aka visbeek, later gewijzigd in Nooijen, Kon.Besluit) Daarna overgestapt naar andere Knsm schepen t/m 1972

Hallo allemaal ik ben in 1960 geboren in de haven van Madeira op de MS Oranje Nassau. ..Ben dus blij met dit filmpje. Helaas heb ik verder geen beeldmateriaal. Met mn ouders en zusje heb ik deze laatste vaart meegemaakt. Het was zelf in het nieuws NOS maar ze hebben helaas niets bewaard...

blijf het intressant vinden mijn vader Herman van Vliet heeft hier jaren op gevaren hoop ooit eens een foto te vinden van hem aan boord helaas leeft hij niet meer maar tot aan zijn dood heeft hij het gehad over zijn tijd op zee dat is de mooiste tijd van zijn leven geweest hij heeft meer dan 20 jaar gevaren.

Als jonge helper machinefitter heb ik gewerkt aan zo'n motor bij Mercantile and Graving Dock's Company in Antwerpen vroeg jaren 70. Ik vergeet het opstarten nooit ! Theo Seeldraeyers

Wat geweldig om deze film te zien! Mijn vader heeft als gezagvoerder op de Oranje Nassau gevaren.

Mat, I am Dutch, what you mean about "unusual sequence" ? The cranks on the crank shaft?

My dad worked on some of these in ships during the 60s. I remember him telling me about the unusual sequence.

Sad news: Ship broken up in ALIAGA (Turkey) on the 24/7/2014

Mijn vader heeft jaren op dit schip gevaren , hij had het daar altijd over de mooiste jaren van zijn leven , daar was hij trots op. ik heb zijn monster boekje nog

Ik zat toen op dat schip als dienstplichtige naar Suriname samen met nog een paar andere pelotons van de TRIS (Troepenmacht in Suriname). We werden gehuisvest in de voorplecht van het schip en mochten niet bij de 2e of 1e klasse komen. De laatste reis van de Oranje Nassau. Het jaar daarop met een verlengde DC8 terug naar huis)

Ik heb in 1966 het hele jaar op de Oranje Nassau gevaren als 3e kok> Het waren leuke reizen naar Suriname en omgeving.

Dit Filmpje moet ook op de FaseBook pagina van Wilton Fijenoord te zien zijn. Is dat mogelijk

Mooi filmpje van mijn motor.

heb zelf op de PRINS DER NEDERLANDER gevaren , een mooi schip

I worked the old LB Doxford which were on ships built just after the war. Namely the NZSCo "H" boats. The were a great engine. They were a well balanced engine. On one ship we came half way across the pacific with the top piston on one unit completely broken away from its tranverse beam. We only found it when we had to stop for the usual water leaks. My job was looking after the fuel gear and the likes in the middles. We had twin 5cylinder engines with center scavenge pump. Jim M

@douro20 Those are the RUBBER hoses conveying cooling *water* to the upper pistons, and sometimes, the ****ing hoses woud come off their bottom (plate level) fittings, and if you were REAL quick, you could run up the ladders, grab the hose end flailing around like a demented viper, ignore the stream of HOT water spraying all over you, shove the rubber hose back on its fitting, and then tighten the Jubilee clips up a bit more to KEEP the bloody things where they belonged. Fun, eh?

@peteacher52 He was right. There was *almost* ALWAYS 'somehting to do' to a Doxford, once in port.

i hear the oil cooled doxfords were tolerable.............unfortunately I only worked on water cooled ones. When the seals on the telescopics went it was inside into the heat

@herbgarratt That's exactly what an old ships' engineer, now in his 80's, told me, and once turbo chargers for big conventional diesels became reliable, the Doxfords and their kin passed into history without too much regret from the engineers.

DOXFORD ENGINES SUNDERLAND ENGINE TYPE 76 J4 Contract no: 477 (Lastt built DOXFORD ENGINE in Sunderland

Camshaft mv PIONEER from DOXFORD Engine

@douro20 They were no pleasure to maintain, and repair, I assure you!

@herbgarratt That must had been one very lengthy and VERY expensive job to repair it.

The way the braces securing the oil tubes move it looks almost as if the engine is shaking out of control from some angles...

Quite a bitch to do maintenance on i hear. By opposed pistoned engine, i mean like those Fairbanks-Morse type engine with two pistons per cylinder, two crankshafts joined by a gear and no heads or valvetrain, and the inlet/exhaust is done by slots in the cylinder liner..
