I was ushered into a fellow Somerset engine owners shed last weekend to view a simply splendid Lister engine which was the 4 cylinder version of the CS6/1. It was done with great secrecy in order to shroud this perverted fascination with Diesel engines, but nevertheless well worth the risk.
I came to the conclusion that this engine was definitely alright and would make the perfect power plant for the Scopium Trawler. Indeed, I think it would produce enough power when paired with a David Brown gearbox, minus the spanners of course, for one of the crew to be able to ski behind the trawler to entice the Scopium to the surface ( geo, do you know anyone suitable?). In the meantime Hercules9068 and I could butter bread for the kangaroo in the galley whilst someone steered our intrepid way singing 'Any old Iron'.
Carl, you would be welcome to join us to keep control over the monkeys, and 00000, we'll need you for pipework, I think Hercules9068 bidet idea may be a challenge.
