![Worcester & Birmingham Canal, engine of steam launch Sans Son. This is the vessel seen leaving Sidbury Lock - [[3027324]]. It has a coal burning locomotive style boiler with side firing and a non-condensing inverted vertical duplex (twin high pressure) engine. This is the immaculate driver's side and it runs like a sewing machine.

![Worcester and Birmingham Canal - steamboat Lady Selsey engine. Lady Selsey [[3027589]] is a modern vessel to a traditional design and is normally based in the Selsey area on the south coast. The owner built all his own steam plant and this is the main steam engine. It is mechanically, if not visually elegant and is an oscillating vee twin. The cylinders are held up against the port faces by a spring loaded trunnion and the force of the spring can be adjusted to compensate for working the engine hard. The lever pointing to top left is the reverser and operates a simple 'changeover' valve in a drum shaped casing. The engine drives to the propshaft via a chain and 2:1 speed increasing gearing. by Chris Allen – 07 July 2012](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/02/75/3027591_7039a60a_120x120.jpg)
