Title: V12 steam engine complete
Post by: galglg on August 22, 2015, 01:14:07 AM
V12 has been completed.
This is perhaps one of the most complex I made engine. This engine was using about 400 portions and 500 screws, took 250 hours produced. Although a large number of parts, but after the engine starts, precision parts and have the inter fit perfectly, up and running very smooth. each cylinder displacement of about 10MLX12, I have drunk ...

That is truly an amazing build Jin...... :drinking-41:....do we see two lubricators and two throttle valves on common tube intake rail manifolds fed to two banks of 6 cylinders?

It will certainly consume a vast volume of steam....... Derek

Very nice, any chance of a video of it running?  I would like to both see and hear it go.
