Hi Chris,
Not really - I don't want to add to the conversion debate...
There is a "Garrett 4CD Showmans" that is actually brand new and powered by a 2CV petrol engine. I have seen photos of it and if you are familiar with this type of engine you can see that some parts don't quite look right. It is very good - and if that's what the owner wants that is fair enough - I suspect it fools a number of people but it is not for me. I am left wondering what the world of steam engines is all about for some people - shiny paintwork, polished brass but no sense of history... But that is just my opinion - not right or wrong so don't shoot me down folks!

PS just read the reply from Mark - posted while I was typing mine!
