[SEL] Fairbanks Morse RR Motorcar Engine

[Elden DuRand]

Ralph:

Interesting engine!  I agree that the rod needs to be rebabitted but the bore doesn't look too shabby for the engine to run.  You might try to put it back together with the old rings and just a slight honing of the bore when you get the rod back and see how it runs.

I'll bet it runs fine.

I don't think the railroad folks cared much about their track crews living in all the smog and noise from the engine.  It doesn't look like it had any kind of exhaust system at all - just blew it out the port.

Good luck and thanks for sharing the phos.

Take care - Elden
