Lister CS6/1 wanted

[HERCULES 9068]

I saw the Samuel Platt / lister 6/1 combo last Wednesday, the owner Jonno, was having trouble with a bent "twiddler", but it's sorted out now,

I would like to see what sort of a job he makes of the sea scopium hook,

If it's anything like the "Independance" it will be a super job,

Will the scopium hook be attached to the winch cable of "Independance" ?

How much does a sea scopium weigh ? could be several tons , ( notice I didn't say Tonnes ! ) ( metric, YUK ),

Would the old Burrell road loco have enough "guts" to pull the scopium onto land ?

We could always get a Wallis Advance roller to help.

What about putting a steam crane on the scopium trawler ? could probably buy one from Preston Services.

Do we need a periscope on this semi submersible contrivance ? I have a piece of 4" pipe and a couple of wing mirrors I pinched from next doors Morris Minor.
