Russell Newbery Engines

Russell Newbery is a brand of water cooled diesel engines, build mainly for marine and industrial applications, beginning in 1920s. Nowadays Russell Newbery engines seen mainly in canal narrowboats.

The name is from the surnames of the two founders of the original company, Fedrick Russell and William Newbery.

The first Russell Newbery diesel engine was code-named “D1”. It was a heavily constructed single-cylinder totally enclosed vertical four-stroke power unit. It delivered 9 BHP when running at its designed maximum of 1,000 rpm. From its introduction in 1929, the D1 was an immediate success.
