Months ago I found a picture of this old engine and was telling my wife, who always dutifully endures my modeling show and tell discourses, that this was the first model engine I ever owned. They used to advertize it in Mechanics Illustrated...even spelled it out to her...DEEZIL. Well, I learned this Christmas morning that here is something going on behind those glazed eyes that appear when I get too long winded on airplane stuff. To my surprise, she went to Ebay and got all this stuff together and made this plaque for me. Love it dear.
