What does this engine fit???

[Brainchild]

I was coming home while ago,and this semi was parked in the middle of the road.What kind of engine is this on the trailer? I have never seen one like it.It is the size of the tractor.
Anyone have any ideas what it fits?submarine,battleship,yugo?

[kenyg]

locomotive?

[Brainchild]

HMMM That's a good possibility.I see one of these every couple of months. Looks lie they would move them on the train too.

It does look disturbingly like a diesel engine's engine.

I think it is a locomotive engine. Ship engines are bigger still!

[Brainchild]

Yeah judging from the hoses and lines it prolly is diesel.Would almost have to be train.Thing is huge though.

Whir, that thing was a long as the tractor cab.It was longer than my van,lol.

It looks like THE MOTOR of a electrical generation plant, or a diesel propulsion system from off a cruise ship.

I can almost gaurente you that that is a loco engine. I used to be big into trains.

Yes, I said a diesel engine's engine. As in diesel train engine. That's what we in the hobby call them. Engines. Not locomotives. Locomotives are steam engines, you see? There's all these designations and things you have to know before you can just go talking about trains! Did you count how many cylinders it was? I can't tell from the picture. I bet with a length of block and number of cylinders I could tell you what engine it's from, and how much horsepower/torque it generates. That's if it is an engine engine. Not a locomotive engine. Boy I'm tired.

i was gonna say engine engine but didn't want to confuse the other people. made it simpliler.
