[modeleng] Re: electric engines

 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.

Well Alan,

It is 5:37AM here in W. Tennessee and the only problem I see with your idea 
is that the speed of all the wiper motors I ever saw would be only useful if 
installed in a yard shunter loco.
