A viable alternative to a Skateboard, yes, perhaps. As long as you don't want to go uphill.
the Stourbridge Town branch is on a pretty steep gradient, and they don't seem to have much trouble with that ?

Probably well under-powered for Cornish Branch lines!!!!
2 litre lpg engine? Probably 10 litre+ per car be more like it!!
What for hills? So what's a 153 like then?
A 153 has a 14l Cummins engine with 285hp (IIRC it's a straight 6)
Smaller engines can generate higher horsepower but at a much higher RPM (and they can't sustain it). Be interested to see how long a PPM takes to go Coombe to Liskeard
And the longevity of the 14l Cummins engines speaks for itself, I think.
