I'm sure that for most of you this will be old news, but for those who, like me, had never heard of this sort of configuration, here are a few images of an engine type I stumbled across this weekend.

The Deltic. Based on a German design I believe.

John Rudd:
and there's an excellent example of this type of engine on display at the National Railway Museum in York...

sparky961:
Definitely unconventional. But what's the advantage?

...And what do you do with the power from 3 separate crankshafts?

awemawson:
A few hints and tips here:
