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)
