You want to see some real engines now?
No problem, you can find some of them in the museums mentioned below, which were so kind to publish photos of the engines in the internet, see the links. In some rare cases it is possible to see some of these Crossley diesels also on a rally field. Presenting them is not an easy job for their owners due to their considerable physical sizes. So our thanks go to them for these efforts and also to those enthusiasts, who had taken photos of these events and presented them to the public. So it is now possible to enjoy the engines simply by clicking on the links below.
