that is pretty cool,i wonder how many hours to make all of those custom parts...

It has to have taken more hours than I care to spend, but it is awesome.

There’s a bunch of videos on the tube of these small scale engines. I can’t imagine the time and money it takes to build these, but they are freaking cool as hell.

There was no place to hide if the thing went haywire. However, that was cool.

Guy discusses the time his full size Merlin broke loose and went through a wall.

Bad ass beyond words.

This is the shit people are supposed to do, not dick around with their nose in the phone.

used to deal with tank engines back in the late 70s.1790 cubic inches,fuel injected and twin turbos.the recruiters knew a gearhead when they saw one.back then all that was unimagineable.the tank recovery vehicle ran on gas,not diesel,and would shoot 2 foot flames out of the exhausts when you opened the throttle.nice on cold days.
