i wonder.....

i stayed in a place in the north east of scotland called arbroath for a while, and there was a miniature railway called "kerr's miniature railway" there and, if i remember correctly, one of the "diesel" locos had a motor from (i think) a morris minor in it.  any chance this is it?

[Otto Puzzell]

Not a Morris engine...

[Otto Puzzell]

No sir - this a gasoline engine; not from an Austin.
