Dr. Cranky Posted October 10, 2011 Author Posted October 10, 2011 What a great bunch of engines! I never get tired of seeing these. Thanks for sharing.
Foxer Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 My head is still spinning from Chuck's "Football Four" a couple pages ago! My normally aspirated 944 engine is my favorite I've done. Maybe just because it's different.
Crazy Ed Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 My favorite is the Porsche 917/30. This image is from the Peter Morgan book "Porsche 917 - The Winning Formula"
David G. Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Great engine! The shopping cart trailer is a nice touch David G.

tabsscale1 Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 I want to see a Chevy 572 in a kit Some one used to cast a 572 as i have one and at one time Detail Master used to sell it i just can't remember who did them though as i don't have the package they came in.
Jairus Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) Oh? So "external combustion" engines are allowed huh? Here is the NYC 20th Century Limited. The most beautiful engine ever built in my opinion. Specifications: 4-6-4 Hudson Boiler pressure 225psi Weighs in at 365,500lbs 3900hp @ 66mph Streamlining designed by Henry Dreyfuss and has been hailed as an icon of art deco industrial design.

That's a beautiful locomotive, but my favorite is the Southern Pacific Daylight engines. The 4449 is nearly sacred to die-hard railfans.
cruz Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Great stuff guys, here is one I am currently working on..... Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki
Dr. Cranky Posted October 11, 2011 Author Posted October 11, 2011 Oh yeah, that's a beauty! Thanks, Mr. Cruz!
torinobradley Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 How about this one from the Mopar archives...
mr moto Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 This is a fun thread! How about "High and Mighty"? The Ramchargers first effort and a test bed for the ram induction idea.
highway Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Ok, since the railfans have jumped in, here are a couple of my favorites! The Union Paciifc 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy", and this is a Revell AG (ex Monogram SnapTite) 1/87 scale kit. The Shay, this one is a Spectrum unit that is done with markings for my all time favorite places to visit, Cass Scenic Railroad in Cass, WV. The two side by side. Back to internal combustion, this is my all time favorite and wish I had a vehicle large enough to drop one into, the Detroit Series 60.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 11, 2011 Author Posted October 11, 2011 This is a fun thread! How about "High and Mighty"? The Ramchargers first effort and a test bed for the ram induction idea. Love this one because it is so over the top! Love it.
CAL Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 My favorite is the Porsche 917/30. This image is from the Peter Morgan book "Porsche 917 - The Winning Formula" Kind of hard to beat this, tunable upto 1650 HP in an 1800lb car 0-60 1.9 0-100 3.7 0-200 10.9 top speed 250 + mph, closed circut world record holder for more than a decade at 227 mph ave, 917K still holds fastest lap at Le Mans 137 mph ave.

I am sure his wife wasn't happy that he used a large amount of the house's HAVAC and plumbing to build it. LOL I like all the people standing around looking at it... clearly they don't know just what to make of it. Edited October 11, 2011 by CAL
dptydawg Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 The ten cylinder medium speed Sulzer? diesel engine from the Revell 6axle flatbed kit. Carl
Alyn Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Gotta have some more flatheads. I love 'em so much four of my last five builds haven't had pushrods. Here they are in the order built (I think ) 29 Ford Pickup 40 Ford Coupe 29 Ford roadster 32 Ford sedan
