Great video Alan.

Thanks for posting.

What an engineering marvel.

And I love the tiling on the floor.

Watched the entire thing.  Just look at all that machining...

Not just a lot of machining, but very large machining, which is worlds apart from the kind of machining most of us do here. Think about multi-hundred ton overhead cranes just to bring the part to your lathe or mill, then think of chucking it up, fixturizing it or tramming it in to proper position.

Machining on this scale is a whole different deal!

Now that's what I call some great Chuff!!!

Beautiful machine, well maintained without a doubt. That eccentric motion along the cam shaft is just mesmerizing ... poetry in motion to be sure!

Amazing to watch the compound engines working and well maintained.

Nice to see a tandem compound engine working hard!

Looks to be a very well maintained example too.

Thanks for the video!
