This will not be an exact replica and to my knowledge was never intended to be.

It was designed to meet certain goals of the owners including being heavily influenced by the general appearance and arrangement of the original RGS engines. There are numerous alterations and compromises from the original to meet modern safety requirements, the use of modern materials and to meet the owner's objectives.

Their money, their engine.
