Timo, is it a Stuart Turner engine ? Great idea for a steam Springer... a "Spreamer" ? Caledonian MacBrayne colours ? 1920s-30s LNER is prettier.

Is that what you were thinking Timo?

Contact the manufacturers, I'm sure they will give you the details you need. ;)

If you go this route as power, the Springer thread NEEDS pics of its construction!..

Hi Timo,

I have built the 8m engine http://i.pbase.com/g1/49/684549/2/93835786.2Xlq4e2P.jpg


and would recommend it highly. I want to mount it on a display stand and turn a prop with it in a clear case for show. Let me know if you want photos of video of the completed prject!
