Bob, you recently extolled the virtues of ‘proper’ engineering. How about this – just stunning!

Thanks Colin

What an unbelievable little engine!

The work involved, just wears me out, watching it!

The engineering quality is first class

Do we know why it was made?

Here`s a picture….

My Dad used to make model steam and traction engines. He once made a radial engine but I was too young to appreciate the workmanship.

This V12 is testament to all model engineers for their skill and technical know how.If there was a rating then this one must be near the top.

Doesn’t it make you just a bit envious?

Mike, it makes me extremely envious. I have seen some wonderful examples of model engineering, but nothing like this, it’s absolutely incredible.
