Three (two covered) MTU diesel engines for Blue Heron Cruises vessel ‘Blue Heron 8’, MetalCraft Marine, Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The engine is model 10V 2000 M72 made by MTU, Friedrichshafen, Germany. Each engine is 900 kW or 1205 bhp.
Engine is modelled with great detail, with all the wires, carbs and even cooling pipes and an oil filter. Handled beutifully thanks to all round double wishbone suspension and a front-mid engine layout (not dissimilar to HONDA S2000). It has an inline 6-cylinder engine with the first ever for Toyota dual overhead cam head. 150bhp was serious sports car performance back in 1967, it beat the competition (including the Porsche 911). This engine (2M) spawned the great Toyota inline 6-cyl series, and eventually evolved into both the 7M-GTE (Supra Mk3) and the 2JZ-GTE (Supra Mk4).

And old "Beam" single-cylinder steam engine used in Colorado mining. Used for pumping and lifting, these engines were not efficient and were replaced by other types. But gold (and silver, ...) were powerful incentives so the mining folks did not wait for efficiency - they wanted things "yesterday", if not sooner.
My coworker built a Classic Chevy Truck and was in Mt. Dora for a car show. He has custom paint jobs on his cooling fan shroud and alternator bracket, as well as some custom detail work for the rest of the engine.

After cycling through parts of Germany and huge parts of the Netherlands in two days, I was able to have a restday, since the ferry port was only 20-or-so kilometers away from the youth hostel. Having established that wheels with thin, 23mm tires are useless in soft sand, I decided, that this was as good a spot as any and spent a couple of hours laying in the sun on the beach close to Ijmuiden.
The covers to every issue of Engine's 'Fanbelt' fanzine, which were produced by Nottingham-based Engine fans Tony and Alison Perkins (AKA 'The Engineers').
Price: 15p / 20p
These home-made black-and-white pamphlets were produced monthly, between October 1988 and January 1990. They were distributed at gigs and by post via a mailing list. The fanzines featured Engine's live schedules, interviews with the band, photos, trivia, cartoons, and stories from the road.
'Fanbelt' was undoubtedly a labour of love for those who produced it, and it was also much appreciated by the grateful Engine fans who read it.
