Lovely engine and supurbe rebuild by the sound and looks of it. Twenty years ago in the UK I had a narrow boat which we lived on with a gardner 6LW marine engine and 3UC gearbox, yes I know total overkill.but it was an engine in a boat rather than the other way around, though the boat was a nice 70ft les allan built boat too. Happy days in NZ. Best regards Honker 785
Nope,its in an ex Mersey Docks and Harbour board 0-6-0 shunter,gave her a top end rebuild coz she was "A Bit" smoky,nearly finished it,just need some new crank case door gaskets making and a few water line hoses and where away
Just like the one iam re building at the moment but the 8L3 version not the 8l3b,my one is in an Industrial shunting locomotive,cany wait to fire it up

They were very popular in fishing boats, in DK. I think they were number one in their size.
