Impressive!
I would love to see an engine that big running in person.
Few years back at S.Tyneside college we had a big single cylinder Doxford engine which used to be started now and then. Unfortunately it was dismantled to be put in some museum, never to be started up again I would love to see an engine that big running in person.
I missed the chance to see it run for the last time. I believe the engine was 40+ years old.
I work for a GE company and am responsible for the recruitment and training of our Gas engine engineering staff who work for a company called Jenbacher in Austria. Ok the engines are not on the same scale as the ones above but they are very cool. We have recently rolled out our new 24 cylinder twin turbo 4 MW unit which is still a big sucker which can provide power for over 9000 homes and will run on virtually any combustible gas. The factory where these things are built are an engineers dream, I love it. You can read more about it here:

On a side note if you are German and English speaking Petrol or diesel engineer who fancies re-training to work on these things then PM me as I am looking for a number of new guys at the moment to be based in Germany

lol CNC forums!
Yes I know it’s a bit nerdy, but I have been searching around for dxf sample files to use with the new router machine I am having installed this month. One of the first sample tests we will be making is this T-Rex, to give to some of our customers before Christmas:

Does anyone have much experience of that gas torch the crank was cut with?
I'm amazed you can direct a jet down from the top, and it'll cut straight line down 2 foot!

Certainly quicker than a junior hacksaw anyway.
