I don't think I've ever seen the Springfield Gil. What a beautiful engine! Of all the shows I have attended I don't recall ever seeing one.
.
Thank you, George!

The main reason they are not often showed in person is their weight, shape and size.
Shape and size make it very difficult for 1 person to lift and move it safely.
Weighing in at near 130 lbs it is no longer an engine I can move myself safely and easily.

Wayne built 48 of these in the mid to late 1990s.
He also built 2 opposed cylinder twins (one for himself and one for his Dad)
