There is a chap there who often asks good questions. But he does not always get good answers.
This time he’s asked what a modern steam engine would look like, and this time he’s actually got some pretty good comments.

But nobody mentioned the DLM (former SLM) company in Winterhur, which is developing precisely what “lownote” asked about!
If anyone cares, and has an MLS account, please notify him of the info here.
