Train himself</a>.2)  I also found this on <a href="http://home.comcast.net/~aeroengine/Train.html" target="_blank">a site about "flat" engines</a>:<blockquote>Train (France)Établissements E. Train of Courbevoie, France was a motorcycle manufacturer. The firm developed several Train inverted, inline aircraft engines in the late 1930s and 1940s. The HOAE described below is their only design of this configuration, but little is known.</blockquote>3)  Saving the best for last, this <a href="http://www.memaerobilia.com/engineselection.asp" target="_blank">antique aero engine collection</a> has one of the 60 hp, 6-cylinder models and several pics:<blockquote>In 1935, the E. Train Establishment of Courbevoie, France produced a series of in-line, air-cooled aero engines in 2, 4, and 6 cyl. Versions with interchangeable parts. This nearly 70 year old design would be ideal for many light aircraft projects today. This Model 6T, 60 hp inverted engine, with dual carburetors, weighs only 141 lbs. While the total length is 36 inches, this amazingly streamlined design is just barely wider than a small propeller. This is the only one known.
