Now This CANT BE MORE THAN A INLINE 6 CYL ! & I was corrected when I posted that GM who made all Detroit Diesel Engines Built these & they are All 2 Strokes.! but I did learn that the Newer ones are V- 12 & 16 & so on . interesting... Good Stuff
Thanks for the question, this was quite a while ago now, but I don’t believe this was our first run of the day. That’s generally only done when we leave the locomotive sitting. There’s a couple of hour gap between runs, we don’t drain the cylinders during that short downtime. I hope that clarifies.
+1960gambit we are located in Port Stanley Ontario on Bridge Street. We can operate from the station in Port to Talbot Street in St. Thomas, which is about 8 miles roughly. We don't have a regular run from Port to St Thomas yet, we usually only run from Port to Whytes Park, which is the halfway point between Port and St. Thomas. There's a little park there for kids, as well as a snowplow and a caboose for them to look in.
Andrew Poole OK, this was before the NH series, I guess the 45-tonners (of which this is one, most built for the US Navy) had a couple of HBI-600s, which were 150 BHP. Parts are a bit hard to get for those now! The 44 tonners use Cat D-17000 V8s, for which parts only recently started getting tough to get.
+Andrew Poole Ah yes...672 cu. in. model HBI-600, 2 valves per cyl., manifolds were backward from the NH series, which had 4. "H" = original "H" design, "B" = not sure, backward manifolds??, "I" = industrial, 600 = approximate displacement category. Weight: 2200 lbs., 150 BHP @ 1800 RPM. Same block as the naturally aspirated NH series, and in fact, you can convert that block to an NH-220 with 5 1/4 liners and NH heads, yielding better breathing, but then you also have to add a crankshaft vibration damper to allow it to redline at 2100 RPM. This was commonly done to H-600s during rebuild to convert them to NH-220s. Continental Trailways had a fleet of Flxible buses that used H-600s in the mid-1950s...why, I don't know, since the NH series was already being produced and was very popular in trucks by that time.
Why is the cab painted that green color? It's the same color as the Alco RS-1 my son and I recently had the chance to operate: th-cam.com/video/PRW2LARe3nI/w-d-xo.html
The cabs of locomotives traditionally were painted green in the steam days, the reason behind that is something I am not completely sure of. But the majority were painted in this way. In the case of this locomotive though it's green simply because everything else is green so theres a lot of green paint around.
Thanks, that's interesting. The Alco RS-1 we operated is a diesel-electric switching locomotive from 1941 and has the same color cab. The hood cab design looks really similar, with the same looking controls in different places. Hmmm.. come to think of it, the exterior of the locomotive also happens to be green. ;-p

they built those things in my end of town where i live.
Why didn't he drain water out of the cylinders first, or did he do that before the camera was rolling?

Wow, I didn't expect a reply. That does clarify things, thank you.
Great!!!
Awesome videos and locos !
Very nice looking locomotive you have there.
+1960gambit It's a 50 tonner, built in 1950 by CLC/Whitcomb. Two 150hp engines, for a total of 300hp.
Wow! 64 years old. How many cars can it pull effectively?
It can pull up to 7 cars effectively. We usually only run with 5 though. It's our best puller.@1960gambit
Andrew Poole Where are you guys located at? How much track do you operate on?

Cool little unit.
awesome !
beautiful
Nice video.
Took him longer to climb into it then start it
Is that a Motorola "Mocat" radio he is using?
Well it looks like a Thomas and Friends character lol
Pretty nice video you have made
Pretty young looking Larry.....
That interior color reminds me of an old Soviet fighter aircraft cockpit.
Beautifull ..i love locomotif..indonesia railfans
first train cold start video I've seen that's less that 5 minutes long lol
Awesomeman1987 locomotive
SOUNDED LIKE AN OLD JOHN DEERE
hmmmm.......... what amps does that starter draw on a cold morning?
I should think you could run my house off that..... :-)

Pretty nice start but didn't lost long
i like that one.

Is he starting first the Pony engine to start the Diesel?
+leegenix No, this locomotive has an engine in each end, both of which are started separately hence why you hear two engines start.
+HunterBHolmes hi
yes he is
@Rick Delair thanks for the info
sounds like an old Detroit
+thecarguy9195
Twin 6-cylinder Cummins, basically the same as the old center-cab GE locomotives.
+thecarguy9195 Probably the same old Delco MT40 starters, I thought it sounded the same on cranking as well.
How many hours on those 2 engines and what make are they ?
No idea how many hours, but they're both 150hp Cummins.
built between 40-56
fasten seat belts and locomotion ready to go.
2nd one sound slike me in the morning....
Are those NH Cummins engines? Sounds EXACTLY like my bus!!!
yep
Sounds like a old john deere tractor lol
Yeah... it does
Ricky Davis Si Es Cierto Amigo
Two 855 Cummins ?
Two 150hp Cummins
+aa aaa Sound like a couple of old NH-150s or 180s
+DeserT BoB two 150hp Cummins.
