[modeleng] Re: electric engines

An interesting project.

One quick thought. (Probably a stupid one, but it is 4am right now!), how 
about fitting a car/lorry wiper motor in the "boiler", complete with drive 
mechanism and coupling that (internally) to the "piston", which would then 
drive the crankshaft.
You already have the reciprocating movement there so it would just need 
connecting.
