Wonderfully impressive but for me, quite worrying. It seems to me that you would have to be obsessed by the job. Not for me Bodge!

Theres a whole raft of working miniature models out there on the web, including home built jet engines, and a complete working model of a rolls royce merlin.
The engineering skills of men in their sheds has no bounds. But the dusenberg is a beauty if Icouldn't have a real one the replica would do.

I once asked the wife of the owner of probably the best-restored showman's engine, Lord of the Isles, what she thought about it. She said "I knit a lot".

We get to a lot of country shows Stanley, and at many there will be a line up of early static engines, there proud owners standing over them waiting to answer questions.
Behind each exhibit will be a parked vehicle. In most of these Vehicles will be the other half,a surprising number knitting. Maybe knitting and engineering are symbiotic.
