Hubert Schillings also uses built-up crankshafts in many of his multi cylinder engines. See his book "Boxer-, Reihen- und V-Motoren als Modell"Schillings uses a much simpler way to couple the crankshaft pieces than the Hirth coupling. Shillings uses four round dowel pegs, in reamed holes, for alignment and power transmission.

But thanks for that description, I understand the layout. Hmm.. interesting option, something to include in the mock-up test.
