It's an externally powered copy of a v12 diesel.

That would be like my copy of an airplane that doesn't actual get off the treadmill.


Still pretty though.

Well, since y'all crushed Rat's virtual woody....

Here's a flat 12 that actually runs.

I was really curious about the 1:1 timing of the cams until it ran on air pressure.  Still, very nice.  Turning the small cranks like that is tricky.

I think he means the guy that built the model, but Jeremy Clarkson looks a bit like Dr. Janosz Poha  [laugh]
