 Was on another website and saw this.....

Not being an engineer, it impressed the heck out of me, I am sure some of your technical guys may get something out of it.

And its a V12!

Re: Something different

 some years ago jeremy clarkson made a film featuring  a finely detailed scaled down ferrari model with a working v12 engine with the 'sound' and he said of it " I CAN CONCIEVE OF NO FINER TOY"  
  what a fine job, some people say that their engine runs like a swiss watch ,this chaps is one!
     imagine it ,you could have a v12 powered pencil sharpener on your executive desk joe!

Re: Something different

 An admirable bit of 'executive toy', would definitely want one on my desk, but I need a desk firstly.

I saw that clip a long while ago, and when I was looking then, and at that time I did see another example of an actual scaled model of a working internal combustion engine with spark plugs, now that was impressive. 

Spider1V, your clip, I think is an air powered version.

Re: Something different

 Why, if only my meccano kit were anything like some examples shown, I would have grown up a real engineer.
