Here is an extremely interesting link to a rebuilding of a Deltic 16 cylinder engine as used in locomotives.
God knows how they kept track of all the small parts and nuts and bolts!!
This is one incredible engine.

Thanks for that Chris,
It makes rebuilding my engine look almost farcical!

Gentlemen, I have seen a working model of said engine, its about a foot long and is perfect in every way.

Hi Martin,
Is there a web page showing pics of the model? I would love to see any that are available.
I assume the model is not a functioning one? Cut away showing internals?
Best regards,
Chris
This is the only link I could find for the Deltic model, its a PDF file and there are pictures of the engine near the bottom.
Best regards,
Chris
The 2003 Model Engineer exhibition had a lovely near-complete Deltic model on the Napier / Deltic stand, about a foot cube. More a stylistic copy than an accurate model, it was designed as a runner - I'd be very impressed to see a truly scaled-down Deltic run successfully.

appears to be same engine. I saw it early this year apparently ready to run.
