French Engine
While on holiday in France, (boat trip on canals rivers lakes etc across France), I cam across this interesting engine.
It seemed to be on display as a curiosity rather than a restored engine.
Would make an interesting project....

Re: French Engine
I have one of those Bernard's in the garage somewhere awaiting treatment, mine is the W2 which I think is slightly smaller.

Re: French Engine
I would love a Bernard engine. I saw one like that in a museum when I was over there back in 2010 (having a budget camping & driving holiday by myself for 5 weeks).
I also did a lot of French canals back in 2009, my dad & me brought his barge back from a place called Nevers, right down in the middle somewhere. Took us about 3 weeks of continuous cruising to get to Calais, where a licensed skipper joined us & got us across the channel & up to Graves End. What a trip that was, not really a holiday though, I never got a chance to look around much.
Quite envious all round, France is a fabulous country & their waterways are really good, still used quite heavily by commercial traffic, unlike ours which is a shame.
Hope you enjoyed yourself Geoff, & the weather was kind to you.
