For all owners and interested parties, The Russell Newbery Register can provide most answers to topics raised here, just Google rnregister.org.uk.

 

The workshop in Daventry holds a vast archive of information, some 14,000 drawings covering original Assemblies and all the parts used in production of the D series engines as well as many relating to the bigger E beasts! It also houses the spares inventory; any parts not in stock can be made from these drawings and the company has access to CNC facilities to support this.

 

Anyone new to RN may not be aware that their main production was for static machines coupled to generators, air compressors and pumps. Indeed the National Oil Engine Co. were subcontracted to produce their D2 variants for the GUCCC because RN did not have the capacity to deliver such a large contract at the time owing to existing orders for the static engines. Several dozen [or more] of the RND series have been marinised including my own DM3.

 

Membership of the RN Register is only £12 per year and for this you will get 10% discount on all parts from the company and a quarterly newsletter. Back issues of this have been scanned onto DVD which is available to members.

 

Two field engineers can be contacted to support owners, from basic servicing to full reconditioning work - even in your engine room if required

 

Hope this all helps
