Just looked at the link, Thats interesting stuff, never even thought to find out any info on "The Delta"  layout.  Of to have a read through.

Did they ever build a small one for a car, Lizzie might fancy one for a Miggy transplant.    :y :y

It was actually developed as a small powerful and light weight engine for military use!

Started as a marine engine then EE thought they would try it out in a railway loco - and ended up with the prototype Deltic

The engine note on the Deltics is amazing and like nothing else.

Look for clips on youtube, preferably mainline clips where they are on both engines, rather than on 1 like my clip

Now tell me that doesn't raise the hackles on the back of your neck - during the odd few seconds when it's actually firing on all 16!

another amazing engine was the Brough Superior Golden Dream, http://jeffdean2.home.att.net/brough.htm . Is this H4 in configuration ?. There used to be one in the Brum motorcycle museum, until it burnt down.  :'(

And similarly

Only 2260bhp on that one and not the full 5000bhp of the final production units!
