Two-stroke reciprocating diesel engine marine engine building blocks

Written and designed by Ermanno Maniero. Inspired by the world's largest two-stroke diesel engines that power huge container ships. In reality, this engine would be 15m long, 10m wide and 14m high. Every detail is carefully crafted to replicate the intricacies of real life, with all moving parts capable of realistic movements.

This building block set demonstrates the intricate workings of a two-stroke marine engine, offering functionality in a scaled-down 6-cylinder configuration.

Key features include a fully functional crankshaft, connecting rods and crossheads, pistons and piston rods, complete camshaft, timing gears, flywheel, turbocharger turbine, compressor and fuel pump nozzle.
In addition, many components can be opened or disassembled to expose internal mechanisms. The crankcase plates, the

Camshaft housings and the stuffing boxes are equipped with doors, while the air coolers and receivers are also operable. The turbocharger has removable gas-side covers and glass panels On the compressor side, the predominant green color reflects the typical appearance of such engines, starting from the base plate, moving up to the crankshaft and upper structures, followed by the sequential installation of pistons and cylinders, and finally cylinder heads, turbochargers and accessories are installed.
