Hi all,
I have just bought a 3.6hp diesel (Lister Petter AA1) and would like to make a quicky job of a loco. I've already got a ride on mower gearbox (3 for / 1 rev) if it would be of use.
Anyone got ideas to how to make it, any big club locos out there of similar form?
I'm going to need a clutch of some sort, any recomendations of sourcing one either centrifugal or manual operation?

Simon.
