[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 717350, member: 10543"] I think you're right. Looking at those little stacks, I'll bet there are truck diesels under those hoods. Thinking that speeds are slow and tonnages are on the light side, these would be a good choice. I was just reading that the RS-1's Alco 539 straight six engine had a bore of 12-1/2 Inches, the size of a large dinner plate. Long ago I volunteered on weekends at a tourist shortline and someone in the shop had taken a ruined 539 piston and welded it up into a little chairside table! [/QUOTE]
