To be brutally honest its a historic engine because of how awful it looked after it was chopped.

I will dig some pictures out for you in its true as built form.

When was this engine converted?

Any engine that survived beyond about 1970 didn't need 'saving from the scrap man'. If one prospective buyer didn't have it, the next may well have.

Does it still have the hole in the hornplate & firebox for the electric motor?
