Picture of a nice bugatti engine model. Pic was taken by a fellow at the Bendigo Model Engineers Exhibition. Bendigo is in Central Victoria, Australia and is a historic gold mining town. Can somebody ID this engine? Type 41?

Type 35.

Do you happen to know the scale? 1:8?

Above a nice lineup. In front a T51. What engines are there to see in the background? And what is the piece of aluminium lower-right? Is that a part of your engine, Steve?

Not my stuff. Looks to be 1/4 or 1/5 scale. The aluminum at the bottom is most likely a spare head. From the bottom I was thinking T50. Above that T41. The 3 above that are 4 cylinder Offenhauser's. I would love to find out more about the 2 Bugatti's

I am from the states so could not attend this show. I do have some video of a 1/4 offenhauser running. It was built by a man named Ron Colanna. He is a huge talent in the model engine world. I have seen this engine rev to 10,000 RPM

The casing for the blower drive reveils they are T51 and T35. The type 50 has a different blower drive, and the T41 lacks a blower. (what would happen if we strap 2 T50 blowers to the T41 engine?)

An accident?

Johan

That would be a T82

Indeed yes a T82 with expensive noises.
