Post The DELTIC
Hi guys. Not sure if this is allowed here, but if it offends the PAPER side of things i'll take it off. I just wanted to share this matchstick model of the good old DELTIC. I scratch built this and was pleased with the outcome. Again, hope this is o.k to show and i hope you like the model.

Nicely done Pete I've always liked the old Class 20 Bo Bo's quite possibly because they are called Bo Bo!.

There is a linkage of the Deltics back to WW2 aircraft - the diesel engine which powered the Deltics was an 18-cylinder opposed piston design with 3 cylinder banks laid out in a triangle. The engine was designed by Napiers (of Sabre fame) and was derived from an aircraft engine called the Culverin which was one bank of a Deltic engine. the Culverin was, in fact, a Junkers Jumo diesel under licence and powered a number of Luftwaffe aircraft in the 1930s and WW2 - the Ju86, Bv138, Do18 and (I think) the Bv222.

Regards,

Charlie

I'm always amazed at matchstick models. The degree of patience involved is way beyond me. Great job.

You certainly know your engines my friend... and the NAPIER is a BEAUTIFUL beast - I love to hear those boys throttle up they SING

Thanks friend - the patience is all in the WAITING for the GLUE to dry enough for you to move on to the next stage - but enjoyable

Tree-derived cellulose. Sure, why not. Even the International Plastic Modeling Society now allows paper models

It may be the future of the American train industry the way things seem to be going. Make it steam powered and you could burn the train as you go along
