My dad and my grandpa both worked at the Fairbanks Morse factory in Beloit WI building locomotives. Here to offer respect to hard working folks building stuff that made the 20th century move. RIP, Homer and Tom.

Ran a Fairbanks 37F 6 cylinder in an old direct drive tug for quite a few years. 1200hp at 300 rpm. And a bucket load of torque.

Seems like you get alot of power with low fuel consumption

@@randytricker8585 If I remember right, it burned between 45 and 65 gallons per hour, depending on the weight of the tow. Easy engine to work on. Torque the heads with a 20lb sledge and a slugging wrench, lol.

@@randytricker8585 Unless you miss the wrench and hit your foot. We torqued the cylinder base bolts with either a hydraulic wrench, or for the ones behind the control/telegraph station, we used a 1 1/2 ton coma long using schedule 80 conduit as the come along handle. the conduit would bend at right about the correct torque. One time use handles, lol... You could fix pretty much anything on them with simple tools.

I wish you could start some of the 12 to 24 cylinder natural gas powered gas compressor engines Cities Service (and other oil companies) used to pump gas into pipelines with. I think 99% of them are truck frames today, but they were 20-60 feet long three stories tall, 45* four-stroke Vee engines from 3000 to 12,000 horsepower, liquid cooled, that thundered across OK, KS, TX gas fields you could FEEL running miles away. Made by Fairbanks-Morse, Gardner-Denver, Acme, ABC, Morse-Knudsen, and others, they lived their lives turning 550 RPM, and long lives they were indeed! Many were 90 years-old or more when they were scrapped. Most had no poppet valves, but "Ricardo" sleeve valves (goggle it!) on 12" to 30"" bore by 24" to 45" stroke individual pistons mounted on a massive crankcase. A few were "H" opposed cylinder configuration. The men who maintained them were "oilers", and Cities had one that retired with 58 years of employment. A touch of their hand to their monstrous charges told them more than a tear-down and 400 hours of measurements, and it all was recorded in a small black leather notebook in their shirt pocket!.

I cringe watching this video, when I was a kid my dad and an uncle scrapped almost 100 of those old engines just for the iron. The Diamond "A" ranch in New Mexico just gave them away to get rid of them. What a shame in many ways.

Sadly things this large tend to get scrapped because few can store something that heavy or even move it around.
