About the Doxford Engine Friends' Association

The Association was formed in January 2003. The aims include:

  • Working with Tyne & Wear Museums to care for the preserved Doxford 58JS3 engine of 1979, which is housed at the Regional Museums Store at Beamish, County Durham
  • Preserving and promoting the history of the Doxford Engine Works in Sunderland, its products and the people who designed and made them;
  • Bringing together people who have an association with Doxford's, or an interest the history of the works and its world renowned opposed-piston marine oil engines.

Membership of the Doxford Engine Friends' Association is open to all who are interested in supporting these objectives. Membership of the Association currently costs £5 annually. Three or four social meetings are held in Sunderland each year, there is an occasional Newsletter, and visits to the preserved engine at Beamish.
