I think it's BS, no way carburetor jets and fuel line that small work, just look at what is required to run a model plane and car engines.

I'm not so sure. I have seen models of V8 engines that small that actually did run. It's amazing that some folks have the skills to do this.

I've seen this scale model Duesenberg in person & running. If this guy can make a running Duesy on this scale, then a Model T should be a cinch. Every last detail of this Duesenberg is complete & accurate, right down to working hydraulic shock absorbers.

He says in the comments for the video;
"Hola la maqueta tiene un motor a pilas que simula el sonido del motor."

This would translate to;
"Hello, the model has a battery-powered motor that simulates the sound of the motor."

A great and very detailed model, but not a gas engine.

Wow. Thanks! He had me completely fooled, (not that he was trying to, just that I no hablo espanol).

I was most impressed by the low speed idle. Very difficult to do in a scale model engine, but not so hard when using an electric motor I guess.

Regardless, it's pretty darned COOL!!

Here is a link to the guys web site showing a little more detail.
