Then prolly even a Tiger II aka Königstiger, which would make it a 12 cilinder Maybach gasengine with 552 KW/751 bhp, where the Tiger I had 522 KW/710 BHP.

So it could be worth money as there are only a couple of Tigers running, and I'm not sure if any King Tigers survived. They may be the most feared tanks by the allies, but I'm sure the vast numbers of T34s had much the same effect.
So it seems my trains run on a turbo tiger motor

Looks like a Merc derivitive, but Jap by the look.
Then again, Japs drive our side of the road.
Is it a Tata (Indian)? design based on the Merc, Merc designed their pick-up truck.

Not Indian, but strange one, as you have all heard of them and may even have some of there products. But not their cars. Oh so strange  |

That's an air cooled V8 and I'm trying to riddle my brain to remember who built it.
Tatra?

Yup, Tatra rear mounted air cooled V8 (around in the 50's / 60's) from a Tatra T600 / T603.

] Correct - was told that Tatra are the only manufactures of air cooled V8's But even better, found out this little bit of news. The Tatra car manufacturer in Kopřivnice is planning to renew production of some of its legendary models. The boss and co-owner of Tatra, American Ronald Adams, would like to produce a limited edition of Tatra 603 and the legendary Tatraplán T600. The replicas will look just like the originals, but the engine and the chassis will be entirely new. The first old-new models should leave the factory in about two years’ time. http://www.radio.cz/en/article/102624Need to win the lottery to be able to buy one now. |

Shame they're not going to build them with the original engine design - probably an emmisions thing! The engine looks good hanging out the back of a Beetle (not sure about the colour though). http://www.volkszone.com/VZi/showthread.php?t=518443 |

Wings are good. Have you checked on the beetle engine history and they knicked ideas from Tatra? |
