How about a couple of these. Shipping might be expensive and the station platform are in the way.http://www.flickr.com/photos/satransport/7863650400/

Hmmm, not exactly pretty .... it would have to sneek up on the pump to get fuel.  Might clean the spout off of the water tank too!

Chances are that the engine has no braking equipment, and it would need all of the proper coupling equipment; I couldn't say how much more powerful it is over 51 and 52 though... I'll just duck under this here desk...

Last time I was in Portland, I saw a whole line of two foot gauge diesels in various states of decay...would any of these be useful?  I would think they could be had cheap and the money would help a fellow Maine Narrow gauge railway.
